Is pain control a therapeutic effect? I'm seriously asking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay, I pulled up the article, and apparently marijuana affects the opioid receptors in the brain. Not to the same degree as actual opioids, but enough that it does have an effect on pain.
I'm also wondering if the claim that pot doesn't have proven therapeutic effects is due to the lack of controlled studies. I don't know if that's true, though.

Maybe the pot just distracts you from the pain? That's sort of what I feel like alcohol does for cramps.

I have been told that's what opiates do, at least some of the time. You still hurt but you don't mind so much.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What are people doing this weekend?
I have to spend some quality time at Costco and TJs, but apart from that I am committed to couch time, in the hopes of finally getting rid of the ick.

I don't mind and then I fall asleep.
Re: this morning's be-catting. Pumpkin often leaps on my towel covered shoulders as I'm drying off after a shower. I just turned my head at the wrong time and got a face full of catbelly.

I really wish I'd gotten here 15 minutes early, because this is a clusterfuck.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
This weekend:
Saturday, there's Matilda's team's last soccer game of the season (they have a tournament in 3 weeks, but that's entirely separate); Hec has a father/son event with Emmett up at Sonoma; a college friend who's in Berkeley for the weekend for a professional conference will come and hang out with us in the evening. Somewhere in there will also be the folding of all the laundry that ever existed and the carting off of a couple of bags to Goodwill.
Sunday, church and then my dad's house, and then check in up at the hospital, where a longtime friend and anchor of the Faire community is trapped in one of the ICUs and his college-age sprog needs company and distraction.

I hope to make some headway on cleaning etc. around the house, and catch up on some TV. I feel like I have had nothing but busy weekends for long enough that I am overdue for not having any plans.
