I was working outside today for quite a while, doing my typical gardening tasks that I do every day. I went for a walk with Meta down Roncesvalles as we often do. I also mowed the tiny lawn using garden shears that I just bought. And I feel pretty shitty right now. Usually after spending a day working hard outside I feel refreshed afterwards. But today I've felt nauseous and a little lightheaded, especially after trimming the lawn, which was somewhat strenuous.
I thought, today has to be smog day. I couldn't think of what else would cause me to feel so crappy after exerting myself. And sure enough, today is the fourth smog alert day of the year. The previous three occurred in the first half of May. So today I guess I've absorbed a load of toxins by working outside. Crap. Meanwhile, I've been spending the last few months trying so hard to detox.
From now on I'm going to be a lot more cautious with regards to smog days and check the forecast before I head out.
