Overcast Again
Yesterday we had cloudy skies all day, with spotty showers around the valley. We didn’t see a drop. We spent a few hours over at my nieces house and came home to get ready for the BBQ and swim party. I drove us over there and took 100 mg of my THC gummies when we got there. It was a wonderful time spent together swimming and visiting with each other. I took another 100 mg of THC gummy around 7 and another 100 mg around 8:30 am. I had a nice mellow high, I was relaxed and ache free for the evening. Once it got dark we had our own fireworks display at the same time the neighbors down the street did theirs. We got everything cleaned up and my daughter drove us home and my son-in-law followed to take her back home. It was fun catching up with all my grandkids and watching them all in the pool with their cousins. Overall, I’d say it turned out to be a blast and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Overnight I had another damn cramp in my foot so I’m back to a stiff foot. This morning it is once again overcast and we are looking at a high of 107, with the clouds I don’t think we’ll get that hot but we’ll see if the clouds go away and the sun comes out at some point during the day. I know starting tomorrow we are expecting temps to start climbing again with 110+ temps expected all week. It is that time of year when our temps climb and stay hot until September. We had a pleasant June, so these temps are expected, they come each summer. Sometimes they start as early as the middle of June so we were lucky last month and didn’t see many 110 days at all. Today we are heading back over to my niece’s house as soon as this is posted. We can’t stay over there long because my husband has a different run tomorrow and starts work tonight at 11 pm. He’ll need to go to bed even earlier than he normally does as he’ll be starting a half an hour before he normally wakes up. Nothing like messing with his sleep schedule. I don’t know how he has done it all these years. As for me, I’ll be sitting outside in the shade for those couple of hours we are at my niece’s house today, letting the heat warm my joints. Yesterday the humidity was up a bit so I imagine it will be the same today with all the clouds. I just go in the house more often if I get too sweaty. This morning my body feels stiff, it could be from all the dancing around I was doing last night or the clouds we have this morning. Either way, I’m not in pain, just stiff and moving slower than usual. I’ve got the heating pad on high, warming my lower back to help loosen it up for the day as well. The pressure-like feeling I have in my neck and shoulders does not feel more pronounced so that tells me we probably won’t get any rain with these clouds. The only thing I’ve noticed is it feels like a heavy weighted blanket is laying across my upper shoulders. It doesn’t hurt, it just feels like pressing on my upper back on my shoulders. I’ll take it, it sure beats the bone deep constant horrible pain I lived with all those years on opioids. With a neck made of titanium, two metal rods from the back of my head into my shoulders and a body full of arthritis, I don’t think I’m too darn bad at this point. Each morning I wake up with little to no aches or pain. At my age a few aches are to be expected, those I can deal with. I don’t miss all the pain and misery I lived with for close to 14 years while still on opioids. Now that I manage all my chronic pain with marijuana, I’ve found I can go all day until 4 pm to take a ½ gram of Rick Simpson Oil for the day. I enjoy each evening relaxed and without aches. As an added bonus, I get to enjoy a nice mellow high each evening as well. On some days I wake up without any aches and other mornings they are there. I take each day I wake up without horrible pain as a win in my eyes. All because I chose a plant over a pill. Thank you marijuana!
