Then I&#8217;ll bump it earlier by 30 min, and iterate the process. I am using an alarm clock, not my phone (though that would work for some (ppl), too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I did NOT get out of bed today until about 2:30 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The morning dose WAS 1.0 g (red\/green 0.5 g each). This was enough to sort of energize me for a good amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I didn&#8217;t have any until the evening. I take some w\/my end-of-workday pills (&amp;&amp; my end-of-workday routine, when I exercise &amp;&amp; do my fact-checking\/reality-testing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I did get some very good productive progress on coding done today. I mean workstuffs, for the software I&#8217;m developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think Friday I will try to program w\/o Gemini. Use the internet on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evening dose, after worktime, was 1 pill = 0.5 g green maeng da (first time dosing this strain &amp;&amp; vein in the evening), &amp;&amp; 2 pills = 1.0 g red borneo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve noticed that the red borneo is gentler, to repeat what I&#8217;ve said before, &amp;&amp; sort of is more supportive, but combos well w\/green maeng da (maeng da being the opier strain of the pair, green vein being for alertness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was sort of manic\/uppity the whole day. Running around like a chicken w\/its head cut off, helping the parents, doing chores, working on my web app dev, doing this, taking care of myself, doing that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started using Microsoft To-Do for my evening sessions. Of&#8230; free time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">B\/c I like SOME structure to my free time. That&#8217;s sort of how I grew up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how is it going? Let me think a moment&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My mother still doesn&#8217;t know about the kratom. I&#8217;m horrified she will find out, yell at me, cry, &amp;&amp; confiscate it. I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;d do if that happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh well. C&#8217;est la vie. (That hasn&#8217;t happened yet). She respects my privacy pretty like, a little too much to be honest, so as long as I am functioning well, staying on top of the ball, she probably won&#8217;t snoop or inquire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I took 2 more pills = 1.0 g red vein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So right now I&#8217;m @ 7 pills = 3.5 g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like I said, 10 pills is my daily usual. Around 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So yeah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have therapy in a  few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My therapist is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t know what else to say. I&#8217;m tired, &amp;&amp; functional, but sort of&#8230; beaten up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think it should get better, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My father discovered ice for his hip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What a miracle. He was always before like, &#8220;It&#8217;s okay!&#8221; (implying he didn&#8217;t need it), &amp;&amp; I am not naturally a pushy person, so I didn&#8217;t push. How screwed up, amiright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And he said it helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am pretty, like, good @ body stuff. I am a former athlete, for my education I studied\/specialized in science\/engineering&#8211;biological both of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So yeah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know some stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s about it for now. I don&#8217;t want to get sued for writing in my own blog or perpetuating false information or whatever wonky accusation some idiot w\/a lawyer or the republicans shout at me horrifyingly. That&#8217;s why I have a trigger warning as the homepage, &amp;&amp; antivirus for the blog itself, &amp;&amp; analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hopefully bad things happen less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The day turned out very well, despite being a little off this morning.
