Kevin's Hetero MFM Poly-Fi V

11:16 a.m., Thursday the 19th

I talked about it last night over dinner with BH and SB. BH seems somewhat interested, and SB seems willing to bootleg a copy. I won't be in a huge hurry since we are still watching Fleabag episodes, also the fourth/final season of TGP doesn't come out til next week. Dinner last night (Mexican salad with leftovers) was somewhat late (c. 6:30 p.m.), so we didn't watch anything.

Later today (2:45 p.m. check-in), SB and I have teeth cleanings at our local dentist's. We'll probably drive there, although it's easily close enough to walk. SB's getting out of work early for it.
 
12:52 p.m., Friday the 20th

For quite a few years now, I've gotten glowing reviews at the dentist's for how clean my teeth are. And no cavities. Thank the gods! Yesterday was no exception.

A new pizza place has opened up in Yelm: Bertoglio's. We got pizza there yesterday, and had that for dinner. BH had a long day at work, :( so we did not watch anything.
 
7:07 p.m., Sunday the 22nd

Last night BH and I did one episode of Fleabag. This morning, Eddie had a Barn Hunt practice, and I went with SB for that. BH was tired and stayed home. In the afternoon, BH and I watched a movie, Sunshine Cleaning. I don't know whether we'll watch anything else tonight. For dinner, SB is making egg foo young.
 
12:54 p.m., Monday the 23rd

Dinner ended up being somewhat late, so we did not watch any episodes afterwards. (The egg foo young was tasty.) Today, BH is off, as is usually the case on Monday. He goes back to work early tomorrow, so I don't know whether we'll watch anything tonight. It's quite cool out, 62° with light rain as of noon. Tomorrow and Wednesday will get up to 70°, and those will be the warm days of the coming week.
 
2:59 p.m., Wednesday the 25th

Yesterday, BH's cousin was visiting (I'm thinking work-related) in Seattle (or north of Seattle). BH was not able to hook up with her, but SB hooked up with her after work. So, SB got home late (c. 9:20 p.m.), and I think, ate dinner with BH's cousin. So BH picked up dinner for me and him, for me an Impossible Whopper, for him a Pretzel Bacon King. After that, he and I watched the final episode of Fleabag. Then, we watched the first two episodes of Jack Ryan. Then SB got home, and we all turned in.

I don't know whether Eddie has Barn Hunt practice today. I think SB is going to call me and let me know. All I know is, I'm hungry as hell.
 
We loved every episode of the TDC Rebellion! Yes, it used CGI a bit, but I think it still had the hand made feeling of the movie. And we watched the "making of" documentary also on Netflix. Really fascinating to hear from all the designers and puppeteers, etc. Then we watched the original movie. I hadn't seen it except partially, probably back in the 90's when my kids were watching it. I barely remembered it. I'd have to say, the Gelflings' quality, especially their faces and movements, have really improved in the new series. The skekSis are just as scary and gross looking!

I hadn't seen or heard of Fleabag until I found out it was all the rage at the Emmys last weekend. Pixi's bf has been watching The Good Place and loving it, but she and I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I've been watching A Very Brady Renovation on HGTV and I love it so much!
 
2:13 p.m., Thursday the 26th

It's gonna take awhile for the three of us to watch TDC:AOR, SB is often otherwise occupied in the evenings, and BH has to be in the mood. Last night (and probably tonight), we didn't watch anything, as dinner was (and probably will be) rather late. We'll get to it eventually, but don't hold your breath.

Eddie did have Barn Hunt practice yesterday. He tried a more advanced course, and I guess didn't do as well as usual. He will be "held back a grade," I think he is in open level, he will stay in open until he gets an excellent rating in it. To get excellent, he has to do ten successful trial runs (in open).

This concludes my riport.
 
1:44 p.m., Friday the 27th

If I understand correctly, Eddie is currently competing/participating in open level, but he does not yet have his open title. He has completed the novice level, and has his novice title.

Dinner last night was leftover egg foo young. We didn't watch anything. This concludes my riport.
 
3:05 p.m., Sunday the 29th

Eddie has Barn Hunt competition today. BH and SB got up early to go to it, whereas I stayed in bed. It's uncertain when Eddie will actually compete; BH and SB might not get back home til late. I might be on my own for dinner, probably either a TV dinner or a can of chili. Sigh ...
 
3:27 p.m., Monday the 30th

Weed and I have an unpredictable relationship. Sometimes weed has no noticeable effect on me. Other times it blows me out of the water. Sometimes it takes effect immediately, as soon as I consume it. Other times it can take hours before the effect kicks in.

Yesterday, I had a drink of THC juice (watermelon flavor) at 11:00 a.m. or so ... no effect. BH and SB (and Eddie) got home at 3:00 or 3:30 p.m. ... still no effect. For dinner we had salad and pizza. About half an hour after dinner, BH and I watched the 2017 movie "It." During that half an hour, the THC suddenly kicked in. Ahhhh nice. And I enjoyed watching the movie, but I had no idea what was going on in it. Let's say very little idea. I pretended to follow the movie coherently, but the next day (today), I had to look it up on Wikipedia and read the plot section. This way, in case I'm asked any questions about the movie today, I'll be able to answer coherently.

If it was up to me, I'd have chosen to be high while BH and SB were out with Eddie, and then I'd have chosen to come down in time to watch the movie. So the way things played out, was not ideal. I don't feel terrible, just kind of bummed. Actually once that high hit, it lasted all night. So I slept well. That's weed for ya. It doesn't let me decide when it'll kick in, nor how hard it'll kick. If it does deliver, I get a break from my anxiety while it lasts.
 
AFAIK edible/drinkable versions are FAR more unpredictable like that than smoking, despite being more pleasant to consume. (I've only had edibles once and it was lovely but did take longer than I expected to kick in.) I have to admit I'm jealous of you being somewhere that such things are legal - I suspect I would drink far less if they were. Though I'm supposed to get some caramels soon...
 
1:55 p.m., Tuesday the 1st

By far the strongest effect I ever had was from smoking it through a bong. In a matter of seconds, I was incapacitated. I had some awareness of what was going on around me, but I couldn't speak, and couldn't stand without assistance. I ended up sitting down for the rest of the day; when I woke up the next day I was able to move around and talk, but I was still half out of it. Not sure if it was the method of delivery, the strength of the weed used, or the way that particular variety interacted with my system.

I very much like living in Washington; pot being legal is one of the reasons. Also the fact that it is a blue state in general. Although, in theory, if I want my vote to have some weight, I should live in a purple state. Colorado is a purple state, with legal weed. It'd be cool to live in Colorado. I have an old friend that lives there. But I'm not sure if I have any up-to-date contact info for that friend. :(
 
2:50 p.m., Wednesday the 2nd

Eddie normally has a Barn Hunt practice on Wednesday, but I don't know yet whether he'll have one today. I think it depends on how tired SB is after work today. She said she was going to let me know; I'm waiting for her call, text, or email.

Dinner yesterday (bread and canned soup) was relatively late, and so we didn't watch anything. Today we definitely won't watch anything, because NHL season starts today and BH will be watching hockey. This concludes my today's riport.
 
11:36 a.m., Thursday the 3rd

So SB called and we did take Eddie to a Barn Hunt practice. SB was tired, but decided she wanted to take advantage of the clement weather. BH had a salad for dinner while we were out. We stopped at an Arby's on the way back, and ate in the car. Well we regretted it. SB didn't get the sandwich she ordered, and my sandwich was partly cold. We won't be going to Arby's again for awhile, especially not that particular Arby's.

On the THC drink, SB suggested that I drink half as much (in a day). So, that's what I've done today. Now I'm just waiting for the delay to go by. Could be three hours (a little after 1:00 p.m.) or more. Please let there be an effect when the delay is done!
 
3:34 p.m., Friday the 4th

Alas, the THC drink had no (or very little) effect. Now that I think of it, weed does not (so far) affect me in moderate amounts. It's either, nothing, or else it hits me like a ton of bricks. So cutting a dose in half (for me) results in no effects. Which is a shame because I'd like moderate effects. It's too much when I can't even hardly follow what's going on (e.g. on the TV). Although in that case, at least it is giving me relief from my otherwise-24/7 anxiety. Not sure what to suggest, I guess I keep looking for that sweet spot.

Tomorrow, and Sunday, Eddie has Barn Hunt competition. Hopefully he will complete earning his Open title. (Right now his title is Novice.) SB is taking Eddie by herself, and staying there overnight. She leaves early tomorrow morning, so that's not my cup of tea. And I don't like overnight trips. It's not that I'm not invited, SB would be happy to have me along. BH can't go because he works tomorrow.

For dinner yesterday SB prepared sockeye salmon, Idahoan mashed potatoes (instant), and corn. After dinner, SB and I watched S1:E4 of Jack Ryan. Whether we watch E5 tonight will probably partly depend on what's on as far as hockey goes. If the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing, BH will surely watch that, the Leafs are (currently) his favorite team.
 
Is there a reason you're doing a drink instead of just smoking one hit of weed old school style, or maybe vaping? Pixi and 2 of my dearest friends smoke weed for anxiety and it helps them SO much. Generally 2-5 hits works for them, but you could just have one hit and get the effect almost immediately, and see how that works. Then have another one, wait a minute, see what happens. No hours of waiting! No disappointment or "overdose." No mysteries.
 
2:00 p.m., Saturday the 5th

The time when I smoked it in a bong, was the one time when smoking it in any way had any noticeable effect on me. I will smoke it when offered a hit, but it's not my favorite way to do it. I cough a lot.

Eddie's (with SB) at his competition. He will be gone until tomorrow night (possibly 8:00 p.m., possibly sooner), so the cats (and I) get a break, they can roam the house freely, no fear of being chased.

HB will probably get Little Caesars (square) for him and me for dinner tonight. Don't know whether we'll watch anything tonight, we did not watch anything last night. If SB gets home early enough tomorrow, the three of us might eat out.

Dinner last night was microwaved (bean/cheese) burritos, with various toppings and avocado slices. This concludes my riport.
 
When was the last time you smoked from a regular pipe, a glass bowl? Weed has become very strong in the last couple decades. I don't see why a few hits from a bowl in the course of a few minutes wouldn't work, if a bong did. Or, indeed you could use a bong without inhaling "too much" smoke. Even a bong with ice in the water to soothe your throat.

My ex bf, now friend, Punk, coughs pretty badly every time he smokes. But he has regular medical checkups and there are no problems. It's worth a cough, for him, to be rid of his pretty severe bipolar symptoms. It doesn't help he also smokes tobacco though. :mad:

This is why we need more legality and medical cannabis pharmacists. We need people who can help others with specific medical needs to find the best way to ingest the chemical compounds to maximum effect, without overdoing or underdoing it.
 
2:06 p.m., Sunday the 6th

I suppose the most desirable effect I've ever had -- a little over the top, but not too much over the top -- was when it was suspended in a tincture. But again, it's, no effect, no effect, no effect ... huge effect, as I try to increase the dose a little at a time. Plus an hour or two delay.

SB (with Eddie) isn't home yet, I don't know whether she'll get home late, I hope not. Right now it's just me and BH (and the cats) at home. Last night BH and I watched a comedy, Dinner for Schmucks. As predicted, BH brought home Little Caesars, but not square. One round cheese pizza.
 
You didn't answer my questions but that's OK.
