Seattle basically shut down today due to the weather today; the buses weren't running, Sea-Tac was working to de-ice ONE runway so flights could at least land, and everyone who could work from home, did.
Thankfully we didn't lose power! It was very cold though, and the dogs slipped and slid their way in the backyard. It was kind of pitiful. ;o; Stella was particularly mournful about it; she couldn't keep her feet under her to poop. ;o;!
I spent the day doing things for Secret Sanguinala, a Warhammer specific exchange. I've done five things, each of a different ship! Not only a different ship, none of them even have overlapping characters! I'm very proud. ;3; Granted there are so many characters in this fandom, it's not that hard to do. I'm planning to do a final art piece tomorrow, once again with no repeated characters, and then I'm done. WHEW.
(the carpel tunnel surgery was such a life-saver. I hadn't been comfortable drawing for years and now.)
So I don't know if I've mentioned it here before but I've recently started experimenting with THC! I've been taking edibles (10mg) and that's been going well. I stick with sativa and only take one (I tried two once and it kinda fucked me up a little bit) and it usually kills the imposter syndrome and I feel much more comfortable working on art. It just helps me focus and keeps me from second-guessing what I'm doing. It's been pretty nice!
However, the last time I went to the dispensary, I picked up a single pre-rolled joint. I kept it for a couple of weeks before finally deciding today was the day. I put on my coat and stepped outside. Selphie was determined to go with me so we stood out on the back step, in the dark and the cold, and I tried my first blunt lmao.
It was good! I was nervous lol so I definitely took the first couple of puffs too fast but then I slowed down and actually breathed deep and held it in my lungs for a bit before exhaling. It was, obviously, a much faster high than an edible but it didn't seem as strong? Although I only smoked half of it. It also didn't give that sense of focus, but the joint is a hybrid, not sativa only.
Anyways. That was nice! Selphie was very unimpressed as she stood there shivering. We stubbed it to save half for later and then went back in the house.
I really like mixing weed and alcohol. Not in a blackout wasted way but if I take an edible and wait a minute before drinking, it seems to make the high stronger and the drunk feeling on the backburner. So it's basically really good for when I need to do something like work on colors or something in art. Not so much for line art work; while my lines might be good, there are still some mistakes that I know I wouldn't have made if I had been sober. Probably? Although I guess the trade off of "not worrying about how much I suck" for "some of these lines aren't so great" is a good one.
Anyways, if you've read this far and are worried about me, please don't be! I can go weeks without doing this. It's not a necessity to my day-to-day life, it's just a little jump for when I want to be able to chill or really hardcore focus on art.
We're having holiday celebrations on Monday, which works because I would like to get the house in much better shape before our friends come over.
I hope everyone is doing well and is safe and content!
