That's just more weed on top of weed, SK!

”That’s just more weed on top of weed SK!”

Saturday afternoon and the farm gas is hitting hard. I mean, I vaped some earlier as we were picking Gidget up from halls of residence and was able to sit in the sun waiting for Ubers whilst Stripes and Gidget did all the heavy lifting. Back home and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to vape the rest of the bowl – maybe in the hopes of it knocking me out and helping me get a few hours of sleep. Alas, this does not appear to be the outcome – Gidget is praying to the internet Gods and trying to get Wi-Fi in her bedroom, so there’s lots of messing about with cables, wires and huffing at the ridiculous instructions on the phone.

I’ve been taking a bit of a pot-luck approach to vaping the last few nights. Depending on what I’ve been up to during the day, my knees are at a 3 or 4 pain level, getting higher as the evening goes on. So I have dinner and any dessert, then teeth brushing, etc before vaping and hopefully crashing out!

Unscheduled break but I have returned. It’s actually Sunday the 23rd now. Yesterday I vaped and fell asleep for a good few hours, then woke to eat, spend a little time with Stripes because Gidget had gone to work, then went back to sleep.

I definitely think the sleeping then waking after 4 hours, only to be happy to go back to sleep is a high thing. I mean, I’m not sure why I keep waking up – it’s not always to use the bathroom, I just seem to wake up and feel the need to do things before eventually crashing back into sleep. I try to take advantage of the do things portion of events, but am never quite sure if it’s safe to be online whilst in the head-space. Like now – spent some time with Gidget and the JC playing card games, finished posting the chapter I wrote today as well as the picture manip I had been working on, and I could happily go to sleep. Gidge and the JC are unpacking her stuff as she has just returned from uni, Stripes is working on some stuff in her room, so now would be a good time for a nap. But having vaped Big Narstie, for some reason I feel – not energized because I can’t remember what that even feels like – but like I could do SOMETHING. I just don’t know what!

Ooh high thoughts – I should do my weight loss blog post. Writing about gaining instead of losing weight is much less painful when you’re floating on a Big Narstie high!

Bella, where have you been loca?!

”Bella, where have you been loca?!”

Okay, so cards on the table – buying this stuff is expensive. I have been using my PIP money to fund it, but £200+ every month is a lot of money and having built up a stockpile, I decided to stop ordering for a little while. I have also been vaping less because as the weather has warmed up, I haven’t been feeling as much pain in my knees.

This past week or so, the pain has returned and has been pretty dang bad. As I’ve put most of my paraphernalia away and Stripes offered a THC based cookie (I asked if she had any frozen dough), I decided to see if I could get a decent night’s sleep away from the pain, and also prepare for a stressful week.

Having had a break of just over two and a half months, I decided to be cautious and only eat half of the cookie. Mind you, this cookie smelt like I could get high just from sniffing it – the scent was potent! And I’m so, so glad that I only had half. After half an hour, I was feeling giggly as all heck and a tad sleepy so set myself up with my CPAP. I know I slept about 2/3 hours and woke up to talk to Stripes briefly before she went to bed. I fut-zed around on my phone then decided to see if I could catch another nap before the results of the cookie wore off.

I woke up for the second time just after 7.30 this morning! Like, five hours later which means that I’ve probably had more sleep in the last 24 hours than maybe the last fie days! And the pain in my knees is back to a dull roar. We think that possibly the pain is because of a side-effect of losing some weight – I have taken to unconsciously crossing my legs at the ankle, which I think is twisting my knee at an angle that isn’t comfortable. So I need to pay more attention to how I am holding myself – losing the weight means that all sorts of things are changing but that doesn’t suddenly mean I’m as twisty and flexible as I used to be!

I plan to ride the green train for as long as I can so will be going back to sleep once my painkillers have gone down a little. Using Ozempic means that it takes longer to absorb things consumed, so the THC will most likely have a longer effect and there isn’t anything I need to do today.

If I decide to keep vaping, I will need to check my stock levels and get in touch with Mamedica for a review, but I have plans for the PIP money for the next two months so I won’t be buying any more for the foreseeable future. I had a complete tub of Big Narstie, as well as a couple of daytime strains so I shouldn’t actually need to order any more for a couple of months at least.
