#not helping that this coincided exactly with my uterus’ monthly bid for dominance

[dreamofbecoming]

so i have 2 windows in my bedroom, and normally they’re both open, but obviously open windows are a terrible idea in new york rn, so all the windows in the house are closed, right? except one of the windows in my room is in a really hard to access position, and on top of that it sticks, and the last time the smoke hit the city i physically injured myself closing/reopening it, and i didn’t really want to spend another 2 weeks healing from a wrenched shoulder, so i’ve boarded it up with the plastic trays i bought to keep plants on my windowsills in, but they aren’t quite the right size so there are two little slivers of screen still exposed bleeding poison into my air, and i’ve got the air purifier running but idk how effective it is when the room isn’t sealed and my head hurts and my chest hurts and i’m just having a bad time yall
