    I can nearly stand straight!! I'm getting better. ( explanation, sciatica puts pressure on the nerves leaving the spine , if you lean forward it relieves pressure and pain. Standing straight means the spine is ok ))

    Haven't felt nearly as bad with the latest jab as I did the last booster, but I've been sleeping quite a bit.
    Also my arm is sore, as I found out when Zooks was snuggling up to me and stomping on it with her little floofy pawses. Owwww.

    Note to self. Induction hot plates work MUCH better if you plug them in. No, don't ask. I might have to kill you if I tell you.

      I tell myself this regarding the kettle with embarrassing frequency. Especially when I start pouring (and then cursing).

    Medical cannabis appointment today. Wooo. Already passed the screening, so now it's just discussing with the doctor, and then managing to afford it.

    Really looking forward to not being in pain all the time.

    Edit to add: Whole process was very smooth. Concession discount is huge on the concession products. The doctor was a full hour and a half late, but apparently he was trying to call me directly instead of using the linked telehealth waiting room thing. Didn't get any missed calls though lol.

      my mate uses the reddit subreddit for strain reccomendations, apparently some are much cheaper than others so consider going to the appointment pre-loaded with a few preferred cheaper strains to request... because you mention finance.

        I went with a provider that does concession discounted products. 10g containers for $70 each.

        The doctor felt like a salesman though, he tried to upsell me on $500 more of non-concession products. Which I still would get a 10% discount on, but it came out to way way more than I can afford lol. He clearly didn't want me only getting the discounted products.

          I know literally nothing about weed (medical or otherwise) but that sounds like a ripoff. Is that the price this really goes for? $70 for 10g?

          Years ago my cat's old vet suggested CBD oil for her arthritis and told me a site (can no longer remember it, I was sus about it and turns out it was not legal to buy online without a script anyway). But the prices I saw there, while steep, worked out better than that.

          There was also some planned deal in the works with Priceline and Chemist Warehouse for selling over the counter CBD oil, because that is technically made legal now, but I've heard nothing further so it might be stuck in development hell.

          Edit: I think waiting on TGA guidelines or something.

            $70 for 10 grams is pretty solid. It's flower, which is different to oils.

            That said, the prescription oils I saw on their website cost more so idk

              For real? Wow 😥

              Edit: Then again I'm about to start paying like $90 a pop (monthly) for my cat to have Solensia shots and just forked out $60-ish for her urine test, so I guess it might be worth it if it lasts and works.

                Yeh. Compare it to alcohol for example, 1g of marijuana is probably enough for a lot of people for 1 day, so thats like $7 per day. Not bad

    Well it finally happened. Stepped on a kids toy, slid and went down like a sack of shit. Hip and back did not appreciate the ride.

    This week's featured song playing around and around in my head is Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal.

    Does anyone know if Annie was, in fact, ok?

    Didn't make it to the fishmongers but I cooked up the defrosted tempeh I bought from the Indonesian joint on Glenferrie Road earlier this week. Ugh yessss. So much better than the plastic shit at colesworth.

    Having grown up with fresh tempeh wrapped in banana leaves I really miss easy access to good, properly made tempeh that isn't some homogenised health food.

    Might even indulge in deep-frying some one of these days 🤭

    e: Finished watching Prosper. Eh... thoroughly mediocre. Typical soap opera plot. When can we have something on the calibre of Mr Inbetween again?
