So Like....A Book?

Lady Miss Friday woke me for breakfast before the sun, but that's fine. I wanted to swing over to the store for more creamer and..other things, I'm sure. Maybe tortillas? No clue, but I also had my MRI in Caramel Valley. I got out to my car a little later than I'd hoped...and it wouldn't start. Too late to call AAA, too. I was not really happy with the extra $20/way it cost me to Lyft, but I'm grateful I have the resources in a time like this. The building was largely empty, which I guess makes sense on a Sunday morning, but did make all of the "STOP! WAIT UNTIL CALLED" signs kind of awkward. Fortunately, they phoned me when it was getting close. I used some of the wait time to weigh myself. 172. Cutting down on booze better help. Jeff messaged me some, and talked about the "novel reward center." Apparently the first time you use almost anything, it's the best, and you spend the rest of your time using whatever it is chasing it. The procedure itself was mostly just boring. They give you headphones, but you can't hear whatever music they play.
At home, I went back and forth on even whether to call AAA. If the problem is lack of use, I don't really imagine I'll be using my car much any time soon. Ultimately, deciding not to use Instacart pushed me to the side of calling them. The tech was actually really cute, and if life was porn, or hell, even me in my old apartment......my battery was fine, just drained from non-use. I need to run my engine at least 15 min every other day. And today required time on the freeway. Since I needed "chicken" base, I decided to zip up to Ranch 99...though I was Hermit enough to vacillate on whether I'd actually go into the store or just drive up and back. I landed on going in, but couldn't remember what else was on my list. Sadly, I couldn't find any Holly Nog, but did snag some green tea almond milk.
Since I was...y'know...Doin Stuff, I also tried to make that long Spiderman video Charlie has been asking (and asking and asking) for. Trying to even get into the costume was a struggle, given my paws and weight gain. Then partway through the video, I noticed that the stand I'd cobbled together had shifted. I'm gonna have to tell him it's probably not going to happen.
My mom called, just to catch up, but Tim was in the area, so he came over with Pupple. I'd come up in his meeting with Candace, regarding my viewing the pics and vids of me high. It's a Venn Diagram of its own, of sorts. I fully take ownership of all my faults, and if I know about it, it can't be held over my head. No Sir, no vulnerability here. At the same time, though, this is my trust issues, this is machismo and resentment of my weakness, and of course, this is yet another tool to beat myself up with.
I realized I was down to my last cart of Northern Lights, and while I could ration it....why? Plus they were having Happy hour soon, and B2G1 on carts. They turned out to be almost out of NL again, but swapped in True OG for the ones they were out of. I looked it up and it's supposed to be another stellar indica. Works for me.
Julian called while I was waiting for my order, so I called him back after Tim left and I got my stuff, but my meds had long since been kicking in and I was stoned.
