Black '84

We packed a lot into today. I was surprised to see Snookums here when I woke up. Thursday he usually goes into Kitsap County's Department of Emergency Management to log some intern hours (for his degree). I guess he woke up not feeling well, so he decided not to go in. I think he knew I was off and wanted to spend the day with me. He didn't seem that sick (just a little cough).

I stopped into Snap Fitness and got a tour. It's a tiny gym, but it's got everything I need, and it's 24 hours. I signed up for a 30 day free trail just to see if it truly does work for me. The only other option would be the Poulsbo Athletic Club. It's less than the Y, bigger than Snap, but not 24 hours. I'm sure Snap will work out fine. Now if I could just not have to work as much that would be great. I'm working lots of stupid 11:30am-8pm shifts, and I swear it feels like I never have time for anything but work. Yes, there's time to go before work, but it's no secret that I HATE getting up early for anything. Priorities. I don't have them yet. I tried to stop into the hot yoga studio too, but it was dark. No one was there. They have very specific times their open, and the timing is never right for me to talk with someone. I don't want to just show up one day. I want to ask questions and see the studio first.

I've got a long work stretch coming up, and there's no way I'm going to get through it unless my pain is managed and I'm sleeping well. So, Snookums and I drove out to Sea Change (the dispensary we always go to). I finally did it. I got a refillable vape pen. Instead of getting another Juju Joint, I got a Vuber Comet Vaporizer. I liked the Juju Joint, but I'm limited to which strains are available pre-loaded, and it isn't refillable. Not to mention, once the cannabis oil is gone you're left with a live battery that needs to be recycled. That's a hassle. My new Vuber is rechargeable, refillable, and is super sleek looking. It's so cool! It charges via a USB port either on my phone charger (which is a high speed charger, so it charges in less than an hour), or I can plug it into my car port or computer (I'll never need to charge it in the car, but still cool). For my first cartridge, I chose Black '84 strain because it's a medicinal grade strain cultivated at UW primarily to treat pain, insomnia, anxiety, and is perfect for nighttime use. It's pretty concentrated stuff, so I'm kind of excited to see how it works. Especially with my back being particularly ornery right now. Snookums (who still struggles with the stigma attached to cannabis use) finally decided to open up to the idea of using something to manage his stress. Work and school are really getting to him. He settled on a tincture. It's not as concentrated as a joint or my vape pen is (it's THC cut with coconut oil essentially), but it should be enough to help take the edge off. I hope it works for him. If not, I'll use it.

We got the kids new winter coats today. REI had some really nice, heavy duty ones for not too bad a price. I'm a member, so I'll get some money back in the form of a dividend. I really like REI as a company, so I don't mind spending a little more for quality, and to support a company that's good to it's employees. Snookums also got a pair of winter boots while we were there. I feel like my husband is finally growing up. In the 13 years we've been together, he's rarely prepared for the weather. It used to be damn near impossible to even get him to put on a coat, let alone sensible shoes. He'd wear Jordan slides year round. With socks in winter, of course. He actually asked my opinion on whether or not he should get some warm, waterproof boots. I told him yes. I get tired of him getting sick every winter because he doesn't take care of himself. We spent more money today than I had planned, but it was for a worthy cause. It's just money. More will always come along. It always has, and it always will.

I'm ready to go to bed, but Snookums is still working on homework. I need to be getting to sleep soon, though. It's almost 1am. He wanted me to wait up, but I just can't any longer. Goodnight world.
