It's Worth A Little Haze

When I woke up this morning I felt so groggy. My brain was awake, but my eyes didn't want to be open. I took a couple more hits last night than I normally do. Mostly because my level of pain was so high. I notice that while the Evergreen Berry strain isn't as strong as Presidential OG Kush when it comes to the knock-out factor, it does leave me feeling a little foggy the next morning. The sensation doesn't last very long (once I'm up and moving around, it wears off), but it's there. And it makes getting up kind of tough. I have to make sure I have no less than 9 hours before I need to be up, or I can't have it. I need that extra hour to clear my sleepy eyes. Physically I wake up feeling relaxed and usually with less pain. So, it's worth a little haze.

Day 3 of excruciating pain, and Snookums is getting frustrated. He hates seeing me in pain, and no matter how stoic I try to be, he can always tell. He knows how I normally move, and how active I am. I know I need to call the doctor (finally) and deal with this, but I don't wanna. I don't want to be put on medications. I don't want surgery (which is a last resort, yet I always end up needing drastic measures). I'm totally open to physiotherapy, acupuncture, acupressure, massage, chiropractic care, etc. I just need to get that ball rolling.

The entire day was all about Halloween. Kiki dressed up as a zombie prom queen. I spent about 15 minutes working on her makeup, and I'm really proud of how it turned out! Keenan dressed up as Pikachu (a Pokémon character). Even though his costume was pretty simple (a yellow jumpsuit with a Pikachu face hat), he looked so darn cute! Everyone commented on how cute he was. Kiki got a ton of compliments on her makeup. It was a lot of fun. We took them to the little shops in Port Gamble, Downtown Bainbridge (which was super packed, ugh. I don't like crowds). It started raining, so we left Bainbridge and headed back into Poulsbo. Since we live in the middle of nowhere, and the kids still wanted to do more trick-or-treating I suggested we go to a newer development with lots of families. Jackpot. The kids came out of it with a small garbage back each of candy. I'm going to let them keep it. Kiki did swap Keenan for anything that wasn't gluten free, but I'm not going to force them to get rid of their non-vegan candy. Heaven forbid any of my vegan friends here that. As much as I try to model a vegan lifestyle and teach them why I'm vegan, I don't feel compelled to force my will upon them. Sometimes they choose vegan, sometimes they don't. I never buy non-vegan things, but Snookums does. I don't feel like I can win this battle, so I'm not going to bother fighting it. I'm only in control of my own existence.

Annie went to the Georgetown Morgue haunted house in Seattle with Colin and a couple other friends. It was the first time she's gone somewhere so far from home with no adult supervision. I didn't love the idea at first, but when I was her age I ventured out with friends and nobody questioned it. Mostly because my parents didn't care. That isn't the case for her, but still. There was no good reason to tell her no. I'm surprised Snookums went a long with it. I think he's starting to accept that for the time being Colin isn't going anywhere.

It's back to work tomorrow morning. The more time off I get, the less I want to go back, but I suppose it's necessary. I enjoy my income too much not to go back! I have Monday off, so it's not too bad. An easy start to the week.
