When life hands you a bucket of sour grapes, you really don’t need to cry or get angry. You can if you find it helps.  But the older I get, I find there are just too many speed bumps along the way. And since I don’t really have as much energy,  I need to save my energy for things that make me  happy. Okay there is the occasion for anger, but best to keep it a memorable thing not a habit.

Matilda and Her Alien have moved on to book two and the BlueStone Colony, The colony is growing.  Matilda and Bertrand have a new story. Thomas and Timothy rescue more of the college student experiment/ Big Furry People. We meet furry children  who are as cute as teddy bears.  Marigold and Tess are newcomers.  Rescue of the mutant BlueStone continues. The original sixteen babies start nursery school much to the delight of their teachers. Matilda and her Alien is now available in paperback.

I have had rheumatoid arthritis for twelve years. I have also five cancers and all their nasty treatments over the same number of years. Combine that with getting older, I suppose, I should feel lucky I can stand on my own two feet. I have always found that the sick feeling you get from the inflammation of many, many inflamed joints is often the worst feeling. Seronegative seems to have a lot more inflammation than seropositive. I may be wrong on that. Both are devastating diseases. They do change your life. I gave up on Kevzara. At  best it worked 20%, which is considered therapeutic by the drug companies.  I am left with the Medrol. Now cannabis.

This las month I tried adding the 1000 mg gummies. Whoa. Not in one gummy but in twenty. Still 25 mg is still too high for me. One half is 12.5mg. One quarter 6.25mg. Pretty good. Below 6.5, the size becomes to small to accurately measure. I have had a few afternoon high moments. Best to keep to the regular package of ten, 10 mg gummies.

So what do you do if you took more than expected, feel giddy, or have a new kind of feeling you are unsure of? The old expression is to ride it out.  Watch a movie and half way through it , you will have passed your uncomfortable moment.

I feel the 2.5mg at a time through the day is best. I like the Wana Passionfruit, which includes THC, CBD and CBG, for day. The WANA Island Punch, indica, is great  late afternoon. The WANA stay asleep, THC,CBD, CBN, and CBG,  is great at night.

If you are going to try cannabis in a state like New Mexico, go to a reputable dispensary. They are used to working with beginners and will steer you to something like gummies. The Wyld brand is a good bet too. I just prefer the WANA brand for myself.  Avoid smoking and vaping, since they are bad for you. I had to add that.
