That’d be great!……  Fresh crisp smell of the cool Alaska air….. But no, I have to do the dishes and clean the bathroom.  Another day perhaps!

There are days I take people quite seriously, like when hey say ” make yourself at home!”; I just might rearrange your furniture and yell at your kids. Other days, I just don’t care.  People are funny. Some days I’m funnier than others, today I am comical for sure. I think it’s cause I really feel better.

My past week or so has been pretty darn good.  The new meds for the crazy pain signals my brain is producing seems to be working.  I am absolutely more agile ( my cat like abilities are returning hahahah!), Feel much more confident in taking a walk around the city, even a second round in the grocery store is not out of the question, feeling peppy!

My pain threshold has always been quite high, so I’d say it’s staying between 6 & 7 even with the meds. I’m pretty good with that, although I still have a good amount of “unease” in my back and right hip area.  I’ll give the meds one more week then possibly add in one more dose.

My plan?  To handle the immediate pain with pharmaceutical meds, then slowly ween off to CBD oil.  Will be working with a registered Dr. here in my city to find correct strain and dosage, as well as purity, to handle this in a cleaner way within my body.

Just to be clear, CBD oil will NOT  get me stoned.   Honestly, I’d probably be funnier stoned, BUT it’s just not for me.

Lately, I have found that my bed is a place I suddenly remember everything I forgot to do. It’s crazy! I’m trying to change that.

Listen , my bed is fantastic.  It is the most wonderful place in the world.  A great mattress, big soft fluffy douve, fluffy blankies and all sorts of pillows…..it’s the last place I want to remember I forgot things.

There is no way I am getting up to write down something I need to remember.  I am not putting a notepad beside my bed and it’s not going in my phone. Consider it gone.

I know that something will prompt me to do those forgotten things some other day. Sweet happiness, or blissfull ignorance, I’m fine with either.

I think the lack of pain is allowing my brain to engage some functions OR maybe letting thoughts get through. 

I hope at least it will let me pack up my place in an organized fashion.  As I wrote before, my last move was horrendous; I just left things there, could not get my mind focused enough to get it all together.  Hoping this packing adventure will be better.

My Mum is coming for another visit!  Woot! Woot!  Mum will help me organize my jazz for sure!

Segue…..

I like to play this game called nap roulette. It’s where I take a nap but don’t set an alarm.
Will it be a 30 min nap? Will it be a 4
hour nap? Will I wake up tomorrow? Nobody knows…. it’s risky….And I like it!
