I don't think you are getting it
@FranC we are not talking weeds the size of, IDK, Rapunzel's thicket or anything. If something is not on fire by the time say, 10 minutes is gone, like, you are fine. Your biggest issue is not making burn zones, so things like weeds don't well, sweep wildly across the the landscape but for the most part, the bush like weeds which you PRUNE, well the weeds we are talking are like patches of desert moss, little annoying, grass like crud (that stuff is the best because it is super dry) and well, that kind of stuff. As long as you don't get half your yard going by not paying ATTENTION, well, you are usually fine.
For example, lets say you have a lot of grassy stuff that peters off into some dirt or sand, you can pretty much set that going and it will go out. Etc. You have to do what is necessary like, to make sure you don't catch a cactus on fire (those are like roman candles, etc.) But, you do that by waiting until the wind is like, right, and you burn away from it.
Desert weeds aren't really like east coast weeds, we are more talking just like offensively ugly and small scrubs that look AWFUL if left unchecked. There is really nothing much to see once a patch is entirely black and no longer in flames.
If you are asking me how long I am going to punish myself, well, I'm not sure. I don't have my medicare set up yet and freaking ARRRHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I have a swollen gland in my jaw which like NEVER happened in Douglas (my theory is the water here is bad although I should not like I have smoked a cigarette here or there which means it would be MY fault) but my
insurance isn't set up and I need some freaking Amoxicillin which is what kills my jaw infections. Which costs like 4 bucks SERIOUSLY but like, IDK, I can't think of a doctor who would prescribe it to me over the phone for free.
I don't really know what to do but it does help me realize why I just felt weird all day I mean today is NO WORSE than any other day.
IDK I guess I could go to an urgent care, pay, and then get the medicare to reimburse me. If I have to, I will do that but I'm not in a super good mood about it and even MORE makes me want to go get in my car and like, drive far, far away. Not that going to like a Douglas urgent care would be better. Right now I'm just gonna like take a BUNCH of Advil and I do mean a BUNCH and start stabbing that area of my gum with bleach and whatever I can find which is toothpick like. IDK. I would say it would make me less likely to smoke, but if anything more, although I would certainly bleach the hell out of my mouth right afterward. But it could be like lack of circulation or something.
I suppose it should remind me to make sure to talk to all my docs and get prescriptions for what I should need and etc. When I get away from this cursed heat pit.
I knew I was gonna smoke. I am going to remember this moment though for when like, I "know" I am going to smoke and like, think it through. I suck.

Annoying.
My sis is like sniping at me about my job sucking dude. I don't know what her deal is, so I just finally sent a text "Oh, T, I love you lots. I'm sure it's all gonna be okay. Burning weeds was awesome. Burned til I ran out of propane."
Because you just can't argue with that.
