This is what I've been waking up to for over a month now. My head is killing me
My husband keeps wondering if we brought our child into a doomed world.
Living in Colorado isn't very fun right now lol...
BUT....
How are all of you?

I’ve been there living in CA for 5 years. Get a box fan and a really good hvac filter and run it 24/7 in your house. Here’s a video on it.

@Totalanimefan: ooh thanks for the tip! I worry about my poor husband who has to work in it :(

@Glume: It's saved me before. You can find those things at Home Depot or any kind of store like that.
I'm sorry that your husband has to work in it, but at least his job should be getting him masks while on his shift.

I feel you- last year, Oregon was smoked out right when I moved into the state. I just about left when we got enough rain to drop the smoke for a day or two
It's smoky this year, but not as bad as last.
I'm sorry you're going through it right now.
We ended up boiling herbs to drop the indoor smokiness when it was thick last year. I recommend it. :d House smells good, and the air feels less dry.

Gosh, same, the smoke's travelled down to OK, and has caused me several migraines.

The smoke is terrible here.
I also live in CO. and since we also have no A/C and with the heat it's very miserable.
and often times i wake up with my chest just feeling tight just from the smoke.

i hope it clears up soon.

If you need my attention for any reason please ping me.

I also suggest getting a box fan, and putting a vent filter on the back of it, works wonders!

@Totalanimefan: Wow, that fan + filter is actually pretty brilliant. I have an air purifier, and I live in Florida so wildfires aren't common (rains too much) but I've definitely got to remember that trick if/when I manage to move back to SoCal. o3o

Please ping me!

@Koah: We used to joke that Colorado had two seasons: Fire and Ice. The past two years have made it much more literal. That herbs tip sounds lovely.

@LordVehk: migraines are a special kind of hell. before I had my baby, I had one or two a week and oof did it put a damper on life.

Ping me, Devil Daddy, ping me.
