Sheltering in Place

[Drunk Monk]

400: 4/20. I considered breaking my herb fast today. I've not partaken for a year and 4 months. I think this is the longest period I've ever had. I can remember being clean for months, mostly prepping for tournaments and such. 

But no. Tomorrow, Stacy gets a new crown. She's kept her dentist in SF for years. I'll go up with her and Yuki, and take Yuki for a walkabout while she gets her work done, and then drive her home. Then I'll head over to my mom's in the evening. 

So the fast continues, but probably not for very much longer. I've been waiting until I secured a new fulltime job and the pandemic to subside. I've achieved the job and then some, and while the pandemic still rages, I feel more confident because I've been vaxxed. That kicks in fully in another week. 

One reason I've avoided herb, aside from worrying about falling victim to THE FEAR when my job situation was less stable, was the cough. I really do not want to be a coughing Asian right now. But as it turns out, my cough hasn't subsided much at all with the break. It's allergies and acid reflux, just like I've been claiming for years. 

I should go to bed. Big day tomorrow.
