Busy doing nothing

I had another slow and not really eventful week - but it was really chill! I did a few minor tweaks to my sites design, I set up a receipt printer on my desk for friends to remotely print from, played a south game of Mahjong¹, ate pepper chicken nuggets, and just kinda ... vibed!

But this next bit needs a bit of preamble: I planned to mention it in my Europe blog post², but while we were in Amsterdam my partner and I had a really good experience smoking weed. It was super simple to buy, the guy behind the counter gave us pointers, and when we smoked it back at the BnB, we just ... chilled out.

But the really big discovery from this was that:

1. My joint pain was completely gone
2. I didn't need to take my anxiety medication to sleep, and I slept great!

SO ... when I get back to Australia I went though all the processes to get my hands on legal cannabis. I went through a few nurses and doctors before getting a prescription and ordering. It was a bit of a hassle, but not as terrible as I was expecting.

HOWEVER, what I didn't realise is I had greatly exaggerated my exposure to cannabis to my Doctor on call. Sadly, I only realised this after taking the 30mg gummy I was given to help "ease my joint pains". For those not in the know³, 2.5g is the recommended "beginner dose" for gummies. I didn't realise either until about 30 minutes later while at my computer when my vision did a literal punch zoom on my monitor, and it clicked that ... I was like, insanely fucking high.

What's crazy though is that, while I was sort of freaking out home alone, I knew that I was almost certainly going to be fine. I'd jumped through so many hoops to get the script and everything was all clearly labelled, so like - worst case I've just lost my day to taking way too much. Once that clicked (and I'd panic texted my partner to come home ASAP), I kinda just went with the flow.

Would you believe it? My knees felt great (LOL) - but also everything around me felt so clean and fresh. I literally have no idea how to describe it other than that the sunlight in the apartment was the most vivid sky blue. I'd definitely taken way too much though, I was experiencing insane synesthesia, and all my emotions were happening at the same time & Tranquilizer by Oneohtrix Point never hit that hard.

Other than that tho, the week was really cosy!!
My partner and I went for a walk along the river on the weekend and ate cakes, it was v cute :3c.
