Turns out I'm not part cat

There happen to be many fires raging around LA (which I knew about) but what I failed to remember is that fire produces smoke, which carries ash, which then scorches throats of those dense enough to run when ash is raining down around them, which then creates a puking Amanda.  

So exercise is not bad for my health - breathing is, and since the two are not mutually exclusive looks like I'll have to take a hiatus (I know, another one!) from my exercise routine until these fires clear themselves.  In the meantime I will gorge myself on lasagna and brownies until I can't see my feet.
