insomnia

I got about 2 hours of sleep, followed by 3 hours without.  I finally came downstairs and turned on the computer at 3:15am.

I've been doing the rehab exercises for my damaged rotator cuff in my left shoulder.  My range of motion has improved a lot.  I can almost get my arm straight above my body!  The "resting" pain remains, though.  It's hard to sleep when you have non-zero pain... for almost 2 months now.

I've been trying some CBD+melatonin gummies for many days now.  They do nothing at all for me.  As much a waste of my money as the previous CBD drops that I tried in 2018, which I think is when I had the previous rotator cuff problem.  I also ordered a single dose of CBD+CBN+melatonin oil, and it actually did work.  I slept at least 10 hours that night. I think I need to order more of it.  I wish Minnesota would get off its lazy behind and just legalize marijuana already, so I could easily try better options than whiskey.  My liver and my waistline would both appreciate a healthier alternative to stress, pain, and insomnia.

I could use a series of good nights of rest.

• No gunshots since Saturday night.
• No crack house arguments since last Thursday, I think.
• No insurrections for 2 weeks.  

My standards for "good times" are pretty low these days.  Once I get over this shoulder pain, maybe I'll have a better chance at finding some good sleep.  I think I'll play some computer games for a bit.  Drink some whiskey since the CBD was a flop.  Then hope for a few more hours of sleep.

CBD is a placebo. But you figured that out.

Back in 2018, after I figured out that the oral CBD drops didn't help me at all, I did some quick math on the concentrations of CBD in available products. A theoretically 100% pure CBD oil product (no dilution) would be more expensive per ounce than gold.

That pretty much answered my questions about why it was promoted everywhere. :(

My office building has a few floors rented by weed/cbd companies. They drive Maseratis.

p.s. Your Captacha oft gives me such confounding puzzles that I cannot respond to your posts, but I guess I figured it out today.

Hmmm. Unintentional Captcha. If you know why that's required, I can look in my settings to see what triggers it.
