Let Me Introduce You to My Workspace

Oct 16, 2018 | Medical Cannabis, Writing

This is a picture of the end table next to me right now. It’s a little chaotic, I’ll admit. It’s maybe not how I’d keep things if I were perfectly healthy. But maybe it is. I don’t really know. I’m not the most organized person in the world. Anyway, this is the current state of things.

1. Mountain Dew goes really well with weed. (See #6.)
2. My phone case/wallet. It’s a really ugly imitation of suede. It’s hideous, but it’s functional.
3. My only prescription med right now, and it has nothing to do with cancer. (I know, that’s amazing, right?)
4. The earrings Dan picked up for me three days ago at Meijer “just because”. The are cats wearing witch hats.
5. The double-sided Sharpie I use to write postcards to voters. One side is fine point. The other side is ultra-fine point.
6. My MMJ vape. The changes in weather got me all like “OUCH!” I try to remember to take it every day just in case it feels like shrinking my brain tumor. But some days I forget.
7. Vitamin D capsules. The doctor wants me to keep my levels up, and I just don’t spend a whole lot of time outside.
8. The Sibley Guide to Birds. If you look closely, you can actually see the bird feeder out there in the back yard.
9. An almost empty basket of Halloween candy. It only contained a partial bag of treats, but still. I’ve consumed way too much sugar in the last couple of days. (See #6.)
10. Windex electronics wipes for cleaning my laptop and cell phone screen.
11. Mary Karr’s The Art of Memoir. I’m using it as a desk reference while I continue writing my memoir.
12. The Sassy Bottle™. Izzy likes to be a little jerk and scratch at the furniture. Turns out she likes being sprayed with water too, though. So now it’s a game and we’ve taught her to claw the upholstery for attention. Cats, man.
