cooped up

 The fires are still raging. I will never take clean air for granted again. It's pretty horrible out there right now. We're so thankful for the firefighters who are working day and night and braving these dangerous conditions. As for us? We're doing the best we can to not complain and make the best of it.

At bedtime Ian and I reminded each other of something important. No matter how smoky (or how bad our singing voices are)...
