I’m back from an hour trying to get Bear back to bed. It’s been so tiring that I can’t sleep although I am really tired. Sometimes I just need to unwind.
Someone’s been burning something near my home and the smoke’s been lingering in the rooms, even the bedroom. Poor Bear woke up crying repeatedly, refusing to be soothed even by boob. Till I think finally out of exhaustion, and maybe the OSIM air purifier finally kicking in.
Even Boy and Tux were howling some. I don’t know if it was because of the smoke, or because Bear was crying so plaintively. They started only when he cried so it is possible it is most likely the latter. I would hate for them to be suffering from smoke inhalation.
As for why Bear was temporarily inconsolable, it could be that the smoke upset his nose, hence he couldn’t suck well. But then again, he was drinking fine intermittently. Or perhaps the smoke bothers his eyes. Mine sting.
Is it a tradition for burning on the 7th day of Chinese New Year? I don’t remember. But I do remember groups of people burning stuff in the middle of the night last year. Whether it was for Chinese New Year or hungry ghost festival, I am not certain.
Anyhow, I’ve turned on both fans and opened all the windows. Hopefully the air will clear soon. I’m heading to bed.
Mephala is a strange and rather interesting
