The Zen Room's manifested mental meanderings

[Khampelf]

I'm on the fast track. Coffee and bong rips came together about seven. I had a fresh cup of coffee when I switched to indica. I have 40 minutes to rip away before my ride is due. Unfortunately, I've already reached the point where smoking more seems like too much trouble. I've hit marijuana's safety mechanism. Eventually you get too high to smoke more.

[Khampelf]

Second coffee and bong rips is coming together here now at nearly 4. I have the last cup of the morning coffee, and there's still plenty of LA Cookies ground up. This is a much needed switch up. I haven't smoked since 8am. I don't smoke in front of my Dad. He knows, but I just don't, so that it never comes up. Anyway, I'm high after just a puff or two and the caffeine is welcome too. The coffee at the clinic is crap, and I skipped it. So i'm back home and back in my 'right mind'. Ahhhhhhhhh. A nice music feed has coughed up some ZZ Top so I'm enjoying that while contemplating dinner. I am content in the moment, just a little hungry. That's good.

[Khampelf]

I wanted to live dangerously and have a cup of coffee at eight, but there was no leftover coffee. Caffeine fail. I don't have an energy drinks, either. I'd drink coffee at eight, but I'm not going to make coffee at eight for no reason. I'll save that for Saturday nights and movie nights.

Wait. It is movie night. I completely spaced it after chemo. But movie buddy never called or texted, so I just called him to apologize. I left a voice mail, but I hope he calls me back. Doesn't mean I'm going to make coffee, though. I do have a nice fresh bowl of LA Cookies to kick my head in with, however. So I think I'll do that instead.

[Khampelf]

Good Morning, Stoners!!

Wake and bake with a half bowl of the leftovers put me in the perfect mood to stare at the microwave's timer, just standing there waiting for the water to reach 185°. I've ground up a goodly half gram of Sativa, but haven't smoked any yet. Ima go fix that.

Happy Thursday to everyone!

[Khampelf]

Bong rips started way before coffee, but coffee caught up at a quarter to six. Just in time to beat the 6pm caffeine cut off I observe. Sometimes I observe myself breaking the rule, but I'm still observing it. Today was great, got a lot done, now I'm finishing off the morning half gram, I think. There are powerful indicas and even shatter to step up to after I finish this sativa. I should take it outside where it's beautiful and cool. I smoke more out there, with little else to focus on but neighborhood noises. Yep. Definitely time to take my coffee and bong outside.

Wooo! Straight to the head, this time.

[Glazer]

Are you taking notes? Proper observations need notes. How else can we cross check your findings for Peer review?

[Khampelf]

Good Morning Stoners!

My new AM sativa is Jack Herer again. Due to a strange oversight, I'm smoking before coffee. I'll make some eventually. I'm done with the news and the TV is off. I'm just high and listening to all the small sounds a silent house makes. It's nice. Eventually I'll change the mood with music or coffee. I slept pretty well and long, I went to bed very early for a nap that didn't end until 3am. After that interlude, I went back to bed and slept until 5:30 or so. So now I'm up and the day may commence. I don't have to participate until afternoon when it's time to take the portable chemo pump back to the clinic.

I'm now caffeinated and breakfasted. Welcome Friday, glad to see you, I started a music feed based on The Cure, that should stay relatively mellow. I'm perfectly prepared for seven hours of slack. I think I'll have a few bong rips, then take my coffee out onto the porch. It's a plan.

[Helena]

Sorry to bring your thread down, Khampy, but how much of my stuff I got should I be smoking today? You know what I'm dealing with.

[Khampelf]

Smoke as much as you like, you'll soon get a feel for what works for you. Reactions are so ideosyncratic that it's hard to gauge. It's your grief and getting baked like a cake is a perfectly appropriate reaction. Probably about a quarter gram or less at a guess. I smoke a gram a day, but I'm a huge stoner.

Im not a stoner, but I know a few.

Just go slow and you will know when you've had enough. The trick is not to go too fast and end up WAY stoned (think couch locked) by accident.

[Helena]

I did smoke myself into a stupor and it helped for those few moments. My mom was sitting with me in the bedroom until about six when I told her to go to bed. With posting and smoking and zoning out in the bed, she came in a little bit later and I told her she needed to sleep more than two hours. She looked at me with big eyes and said it had been FIVE. Ok.

[Khampelf]

Distortion of time sense is pretty normal effect. I'm glad you got some relief, even if temporary. I remember not wanting to sleep after the old man died. Do as you please, this is a time no one can fault you for. Grief is a difficult process and it starts rough.

Around here, I'm slowly finishing off the last bowl of Jack Herer I ground up. I'm considering grinding up the rest of the Mama Mia and putting it in the shake container. That's so I can start the new PM strain, which is called 'Death Star' How could I pass up a name like that? The reviews have it down as a euphoric, a perfect sativa/indica balance. I can deal with that. We will see if it lives up to it's reviews.

[Khampelf]

I served myself coffee around a quarter to two, right after I finished the morning sativa. Now I have some of that dense fresh Death Star shredded. Time to try it.

Death Star lives up to it's reviews. Two big rips gave me head change even after all the Jack Herer I power smoked. I'm up there somewhere in the ionosphere, I'm so high. Perfect, really. I'm all ready to go get the portable chemo pump disconnected, and my ride isn't expected for a while yet. At the cancer center nothing is required of me but to be there. One brief 'ouch' and I'm free to go. I can be as high as I want for all of that. Lucky me.

[Helena]

I typed a message earlier, but forgot to post it and it just disappeared. Anyway, Khampy, I hope everything went well at the chemo center.

I backed off the weed because I think it was making me nauseated. Maybe I overdid. It's ok because I want to take one of the sleeping pills I got from the doctor and I didn't know how they'd interact. The emotions are pretty rough right now, though.

[Khampelf]

I'm sorry the MMJ doesn't seem to be panacea you need, it was worth a try. Here's hoping you can find some peace and get a decent rest. i know things are tough.

[Khampelf]

Good Morning, Stoners!!

I'm having wake and bake at six in the morning. I've spent 14 hours napping, dozing, or sleeping. i started getting up at 10pm, but I kept going back to bed because it was too early to up for a whole Saturday. 6am is not so bad, so I've waited until now to start coffee. I've no idea what strain is on the tray, but I'm using it. After so long without smoking it's hit me well. I plan a nice slow mellow Saturday. This is a good start.

[Helena]

I think I just smoked a lot of it yesterday, Khampy. It's still in the mix and is actually worth a little nausea. My mom and I are going to the grocery store in a little bit and I'll have a few puffs so I can deal with it.

ETA: It might not be the weed causing nausea, it might be ME. I don't know. I'm not going to smoke as much of it as I did yesterday, but I'm not stopping.

[Khampelf]

That's good to hear, Helena. Grocery shopping stoned rocks. You don't remember everything you got, so you get surprised at home, "I don't remember buying Animal Crackers.".

[Khampelf]

Coffee and bong rips came together about 1:30, with fresh coffee, but leftover shake I had held back. Waste not, want not. But I have so much stocked back it's hard to give everything a turn. I have crumbs of Superman, a quarter of LA Cookies, about an eighth of shake and three buds of Mama Mia left. That's the stuff that's kicking around. The AM strain is Jack Herer, and Death Star for an indica. Help me, I'm drowning in Pot, and not smoking excessively lately.

[Helena]

I wish I could help! LOL. I'll be going back in a day or two for something to get just a little high. I know I need to feel the emotions to get through this, but sometimes I need a break from them. I don't think I got anything weird at the store, but I haven't been back downstairs since I unloaded the bags so maybe I did. The weed helped me get through my mom driving my car for the first time, too. Her van was a lot less sensitive with the brake and gas pedal so we had some whiplash moments.

[Khampelf]

That sounds like quite the adventure with your mom, Helena. I hope you find something weird.

I woke up from an afternoon nap and had a mini-wake and bake with the last cup of PM coffee and some freshly ground Death Star. Quite the huge head change it was. I haven't napped too much today, but I have some. I think it's depression creeping up on me, but I'm keeping it well masked and weak with the marijuana. Nothing to be depressed about, I'm doing fine, right? That's tough to keep up, but I manage.

[Khampelf]

Good Morning, Stoners!!

I'm late, I had wake and bake hours ago. but went back to bed. My theory is I'm coming down with something. I couldn't get warm. I ground up some of the Jack Herer, there is still plenty, and I have leftover coffee and some birch beer. I think I't time to bring them all together again.

The Jack Herer got right on top of me. Nice sativa head high. I've slept most of the past 18 hours. It's nice to feel awake and alert again. I think I'll start a music feed and just sit and smoke. Sunday Slack is in effect.

[Khampelf]

Coffee and bong rips came together about a quarter after one. This was after even more 'napping'. I got up again at 12. I think part of my problem attitudewise was a lack of MMJ, it seems I hadn't had any in quite a while. A long time, since wake and bake, anyway. That's when I started 'napping'. I could also have a spot of caffeine withdrawal. I could still be sick, there are other symptoms. But I'm starting to feel better. What a waste of a Sunday, being all Grey and somnolent. Here's hoping I can turn it around.

[Khampelf]

I had more coffee around three with bong rips either side of the switchover. I'm smoking the Death Star small nug/pull through style through a glass bowl. Bong afficianados will know what I mean. It's really helped turn the day around. J and I played a game of MtGm even. Now an evening of tunes and maybe a movie. Sunday Sloth restored.

[Khampelf]

Good Morning stoners.

My sleep cycle is so borked I'm not sure I know when wake and bake was. I was up at three but went back to bed at five. I'm starting over after another two hours of sleep.
There is still Jack Herer, and I have coffee from earlier. I guess I just have to call this second wake and bake, if it needs a label. It will be a relatively busy day, I need to get to a different pharmacy somehow. J said she'd take me, but she was up so late I don't think I'll see her til afternoon. There is also a radiology appt, an odd evening one. I check in at six in the evening. I'm considering Ubering to the pharmacy, a different one than the one I usually use, further away too. But they have the mouthwash the oncologist recommends than my PCP can't duplicate. I think this second wake bake is much better than the first. I've got music instead of news this time, and I'm planning for the day instead of sitting stunned and staring.

[Helena]

Weird about the radiology appointment in the evening! Maybe they've had to expand hours to accommodate everyone. Hope your day is going well and you got to the other pharmacy.

[Khampelf]

Thank you I did. I think I even raved about it. It was fun getting out and about without cadging a ride. Everyone is good about it, but I still feel a bit bad.

J and I friend were outside smoking cigarettes, and I joined with a pre-roll i'd been saving for the occasion. I got to be social, but it irritated my mouth too much to be totally pleasurable to smoke it. But I persevered and even if I was just mostly puffing and not inhaling I got high as a cloud. But Pre-rolls are off the list from now on.

I think I'll make a pot of coffee and come back.

[Khampelf]

Coffee and bong rips came together at three, with freshly ground LA Cookies and freshly ground Sumatran coffee. But I've run into a potential problem. I've discovered the water flavoring drops I bought contain caffeine. Quite a bit. Three squirts, by the label, contains 180mg of caffeine about the same as an actual energy drink. Damn. I didn't realize that. So I'm risking a caffeine excess, but I doubt the caffeine will bother me as much as mixing the two. I think I'll leave off the water for later and just hydrate with coffee for now. The LA Cookies is an indica I bought as a novelty, cuz Cookie strains always taste so good. I'm content in the moment, high as a kite with fresh warm coffee to fortify me for an afternoon.

[Khampelf]

Good Morning Stoners!

I'm having wake and back with indica and no coffee. I have a Mio drop supposed energy drink. It's working, I guess. There is a supposed 180 mg of caffeine in my 22oz water tumbler. I have leftover Mama Mia to smoke. It's old and should be used up. Plus it's right there.I changed the screen before I smoked, so it was deep rich hits to start the day with. I'm feeling them, and I'm also feeling the caffeine, so I call it a successful wake and bake. Let the day begin.

Whee! Happy Tuesday, everyone!

[Khampelf]

Coffee and bong rips came together about two thirty, soon after I got home from grocery shopping. Fresh Sumatran coffee, but leftover indica. The Jack Herer comes on very strong for a sativa (leaning hybrid). I just say 'sativa' or 'indica', but they are all hybrids that lean one way or another, genetically. The first bowl made me jump up and do dishes, but starting the second has pretty couchlocked me. That suits me. I can still type.

[Khampelf]

Good Morning, Stoners!

Wake and bake was gradual today, No coffee, just the energy drops in water. One or two hits of Jack Herer was enough to bend my head. No plans today, I can fritter the day away with slack writ supreme. I've even poured myself some birch beer so I have two beverages to hydrate with. Life is good.

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

[Khampelf]

Coffee and bong rips came together slightly after two with the last bowl of Jack Herer and my first cup of coffee of the day. I got by with energy water and one actual energy drink. I snagged that while out to get an issue of Supergirl #24, which has an Ambush Bug appearance. I'll still collect those when I hear of them. I run the Ambush Bug fan club page on Facebook, so there are comic collectors who let me know when they spot the bug.

I smoked up that bowl of Jack Herer pretty quickly and the coffee turned out so good I'm drinking it black. It's all very yummy, and has me high and energized. I may have to go look for something to do. Or else grind up the evening's indica and dive right in. I haven't decided which, but I'm leaning toward diving into the Death Star indica flower. Maybe in a bit. I thought of a rave.

[Khampelf]

Good Morning, Stoners!!

It was very nice wake and bake, I even had company. J is getting her sleep cycle altered to accommodate her new overnight job. So she was at the end of the pretend shift. We finished off a bowl of Jack Herer in short order. There was leftover Death Star, but I put it in the shake container. I had fresh coffee to go with the nice clean sativa high. Oh, I did do a load of dishes before diving into the Death Star yesterday. That's what sativa does to me. We will see how long the half gram I ground will last. It really is one hit wonder shit, and I'm smoking it by the bowl. Lucky me.

[Khampelf]

I woke up from a two and a half hour nap and had a second wake and bake with the leftover sativa in the early afternoon. It's nice. I have an energy water drink to help me wake up, too. Better living through chemistry!

[Khampelf]

TLDR - stream of consciousness stoner drivel.


J was having trouble getting back to sleep, a few hours before she has to be up for work. I busted out the Superman OG, that powerful soporific indica I save for 'need to sleep' emergencies. I'm glad I had some left. I shared the bowl with her, so it's a good thing I have an energy drink in reserve, or I might be tempted to take another nap. I already napped from nine to eleven this morning, and R is supposed to take me to the pharmacy sometime this afternoon, so I should stay ready for that. Until then I can smoke on the Jack Herer from this morning, listen to some tunes or find a movie. I'm just sitting in the quiet of the house, and kind of enjoying that.

I've had enough of the quiet, time to pop that energy drink and play some Cheap Trick.

[Khampelf]

Coffee and bong rips never happened today. It's after five and I'm having an energy drink while I finish off the sativa from this morning. Having that bowl of Superman OG really put me on my ass, except for the stuff I got done anyway. Went out on two different errands, but haven't thought to smoke again until now.

There is more Jack Herer left than I thought. It will take me a while to finish it, but I'm up to the challenge. Both the sativa and the caffeine have given me a much needed mental lift. Well, of to my amusements. I'm sure I'll be back.

[Khampelf]

I'm still drinking the caffeinated water at nine thirty, but I should focus on the 22oz of chocolate shake I'm calling dinner tonight. I just now finished off the Jack Herer. For a last bowl I think I'll go for the shake bottle, where I toss dregs and leftovers. It's easiest to get a single bowl and the grinding is all done already. It's a pretty heady blend of indicas, and I expect good results.

[Khampelf]

Good Morning Stoners!!

I had a short night, but I got my minimum four hours in before I was up again. Wake and Bake was pretty heady. I had made coffee first thing, so I had that while finishing the dregs of the shaky indica blend. I left myself a few hits in the bowl, and they really sent me. Where I'm not sure. I ground up the morning's half gram of sativa, but I haven't smoked any yet. By and by I'll get around to noticing the bong again. In the moment, I'm just enjoying the quiet and drinking my coffee. I'm done with the news and it's not even six o clock yet. I've had my favorite way of starting the day, and I"m wishing everyone the same.

[Khampelf]

I never did make an afternoon pot of coffee, but after a deep afternoon nap I hit the leftover sativa with some energy water. I might finish it in time to switch to indica at six, just to make a nice neat changeover. The Jack Herer inspired me to more chores than I usually do. Dishes are almost entirely done, just a few items in the sink. It really is a fantastic strain, but so is Death Star. Time to smoke it up for the evening news.

[Khampelf]

Good Morning, Stoners!

Wake and bake came slow and late. I slept in until 8, I think I spent 10 hours in bed, mostly sleeping. I didn't make coffee, I was feeling dehydrated and opted for caffeine water instead. The bottle of flavoring says 60 mg per squirt, and it seems to work. I was daunted a bit by the leftover Death Star. I wasn't sure if I wanted to start that heavy. But I did. Coughed on the first hit like a rookie, then turned to posting.

Here's hoping for a fine weekend for everyone.

[Khampelf]

Coffee and bong rips came together most excellently at five. I had guests on the back porch and we all partook. T has a friend over and they busted out the guitars for some jamming. It's been a pleasant evening, but it's getting a little cold for me, so I left the porch to the young ones to drink and jam. I may head out again after I warm up some.

[Khampelf]

Good Morning, Stoners!

Wake and bake was slow. I made coffee first thing, but didn't bother to smoke until I was done with news. I went to bed at eight and didn't wake up until 7. I was kinda groggy from too much sleep, I think. After a shower and getting something in my stomach, I still feel slow and groggy.

[Khampelf]

A little physical activity pepped me up some, but it still a very low energy day with lots of strange aches and discomforts. My stomach is too weak for coffee and I'm plenty high. I may make some caffeine water to see me through, but there was no coffee and bong rips this afternoon. Neglecting the schedule feels like a fail, but it's only a custom, totally optional. There is plenty of Jack Herer left and I'm smoking it up slowly, keeping things mellow and slow.

[Khampelf]

Despite the energy water, I napped from four to six this afternoon. My goal now is to stay up until ten before I go back to bed. There is still plenty of sativa left. I smoked very light today, and I couldn't tell you why. J carried me some with her pipe on the porch while we listened to the boys play guitar. I won't finish it tonight, some will be left for morning, and it's even a sativa. Good deal. No grinding first thing in the morning. I don't know if I'll be ready for coffee by tomorrow morning, my tummy is still queasy. But I'm staying hydrated, I can tolerate flavored water. That's good. Meanwhile, I'm gradually smoking the Jack Herer and listening to tunes while I post. That has put a mellow ending on the evening, but I'll be glad to go to bed at ten.

[Khampelf]

Good Morning, Stoners!

Wake and bake was slow and disorganized. My tummy didn't feel up to coffee, but I made some caffeine water after my first few leisurely hits of sativa. I'm so stoned I'm watching 50s sitcoms instead of putting on music. It's good to switch things up now and again. My groove was becoming a rut.

[Khampelf]

There was no organized coffee and bong rips today. I still can't handle the coffee. But I had a lot of company today, my brother came over and I smoked him out. The kids had a guest, too. They helped me finish the Jack Herer, then I ground up a little less than an half gram of LA Cookies for evening. That should work fine. The LA Cookies is a middle road indica, IIRC. That suits me fine, I don't always need to be as high as possible.

[Khampelf]

There was no organized pot smoking today, It was all Ad Hoc, and I didn't smoke much. I might still be working on the LA Cookies from two days ago. I don't remember grinding anything up, but maybe I did. Either way, I'm higher than I've been all day and it feels good.

Happy Thanksgiving, Stoners. We will see you in the morning. Hopefully I'll know what day it is.

[Glazer]

Good morning stoners. Our host is no longer with us. Coffee and bong rips in his honor in the den of inequity.

[Dragonlady]

And everywhere else.

The Manor has lost it's favorite Misfit.

[Jaglavak]

I'm in. Good luck to you Khampy, werever you are.
