Had a virtual visit with my psychiatrist today.

He asked me to write down a list of things that bring me joy, and said we will discuss these things during our next visit.

Here's some of what I came up with:

1) Smoking weed and gazing at the back of my hand for hours.

2) Smoking weed, sitting down with a bowl of mini-Reese's cups, and peeling the tin foil wrapping off each one very slowly and really concentrating on the sound that the tinfoil makes when it is being removed.

3) Smoking weed while listening to a 20 minute live version of Ween's "Poopship Destroyer" and getting so much into the music that I kind of go into a trance and when I finally snap out of it, I have a drool stain on the front of my shirt that is the size of a dinner plate.

4) Smoking weed and then laughing at something, then getting frightened because I think there is someone else in the room laughing, then feeling complete relief and happiness when I remember that it was just me laughing.

There's more, but that should be enough to start a good discussion.

Great weather and a great plan came together. Smoke and coffees were a plus.

My new hearing aids have Bluetooth to link to the configuration software. My phone decided to route a phone call through them and freaked me out.

Might be a good communal experience if the two of you blaze through a few blunts together!
