Happy full moon in Scorpio! Welcome to my house. ‘Tis not juju for pretense or wading in the shallow end, even (especially?) if the only person we get real with is ourselves. May we rise from the resentful scorpion, through the encompassing view of the eagle, and discover the Phoenix within; our transformation among the ashes and new beginnings from rubble. 🌀🦂🦅🔥

I kept my treat yo’self Friday for the third week: precious beach time, greasy Chinese takeout, and this week a cannabis-infused bath bomb, ahhhh. I paired it with pain-smashing vino (#fibromyalgia) beforehand, which prevented my body from pain-ing up as the booze left my system; so instead of chunks of pain announcing themselves as I headed to bed, a soothing Icy/Hot-ness was running through my veins.
.
I slept great, but I always do when I have several glasses (but not one or two 🤔) — my next bathbomb indulgence will be a solo treat so I can better articulate its awesome, but that was just lovely. Alrighty, getting to work. Wrapping up a piece on youth cannabis education in a legal-ish world, digging in to see if endocannabinoid deficiency is behind many chronic illnesses, and if CBN’s rep for sleepy-making is truly legit. Happy Saturday 😘

Rain, rain, brings me pain. (#fuckfibro) Well, that’s not totally accurate: rain inside clouds seems to actually be the culprit, the rain finally pouring brings some relief. The day before it rains is the real killer.
.
Yesterday said evil rain clouds spoiled my kayaking dreams, something I was trying to deny to myself as I walked to the bank. Then the ATM took my money sans giving me the cash, and I had to stand around for 40 minutes trying to get it sorted — this might sound like NBD but standing for more than a couple minutes results in excruciating back pain (WHY??), and I was sobbing by the time I got back to my dogsitting home.
.
Oh well, it’s probably a blessing. Without that fuss, I would likely have pushed through yesterday, leading to a miserable symptom flare that could have lasted weeks; instead I’m caught up on work and feel slightly less shitty than yesterday 🤷♀️
.
I’m here again next month, send juju for no rain and kayaking fun! Hope your Thursday is fan-freaking-tastic 😘

What a delightful day. My bod vetoed my kayak excursion (tomorrow! 🤞 #spoonieproblems) but I still got my dog walks and bonkers delicious taco Tuesday break with a great book.
.
Work was also great, again. (As usual. 💚) I’ve been working on a bunch of assignments at once; which makes sense with interview timing and since it’s all cannabis, they flow well together. It also means stretches of days where I don’t turn anything in, just wading deeper and deeper into ideas — but then it all comes together. Send, send, send, annnnnnd invoice! Love.
.
What a life. I could get used to this: finally loving my work and having some means, ability, and time to enjoy this awesome area I’ve wound up in — back in Southern California like I dreamt as a little girl, but swore off in my 20s. You so funny, life.
