Quick Update

For someone with mono, I'm feeling pretty good.
I'm done my course of antibiotics.
Now I'm only taking NSAIDs and vitamins.
NSAIDs to keep my tonsil swelling down.
Hurts quite a bit if I don't.

I may have to deal with some rebound headaches for a bit.
But that's ok, I like eating now.

I'm not sleeping like an excessive amount.
I didn't soak the bed in sweat last night either.
That was nice.

I have been drinking a lot of fluids, and still feeling dehydrated.
Yellow pee and such.
I worried briefly about jaundice, but I think my liver is going to be ok.
The spleen enlargement worries me a bit.
Michelle punched me in the stomach a bit, just playfully, but if I hadn't been ready, I dunno, might have hurt. At least I know to watch for that, so if anything happened, I'd be on my way to the hospital lickity-split.

But like I said, I'm feeling pretty good.
Ate lots today, I like that.
Got to smoke some real marijuana!

Let me explain.
We bought some hash recently. We were told it was good hash, but right hard. We thought, hey, sounds good. Usually bunk hash is pretty soft and sort of smells like play dough. Well, this hash, doesn't get soft. It like snaps apart. Very brittle.

After much effort, we were able to isolate some BT sized chunks, and set about racking some bottle tokes. The taste was alright when smoked this way(better than by pipe), but we found the smoke behaved differently than usual. It seemed to stick to the bottle rather than slide down to the bottom of the bottle.

After a few sessions, a transparent liquid had accumulated at the top of the bottle. It looked almost like honey oil, so we scraped some out, and lit it up, to see how it smelled. It bubbled like oil would, so we figured maybe it's good, but it hardly smelled. I inhaled some of the smoke, and found it to be quite sweet. M'lady remarked that she could smell it as well. The mystery was solved, the hash had been cut with sugar, or some kind of sweetener.

Although, now that I think about it, some chemicals have a sweet smell, if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps I should investigate further before smoking anymore of said hash.

But, I have a little marijuana remaining to smoke in the yeti format. Which I will now proceed to do before going to sleep. Have a good one. See you in the future.
