4:15 am: I tried something new yesterday! The smoke shop next to my apartment sells everything. I’m still learning about the shit they sell! So it turns out they sell Kratom, which is illegal in a lot of states, including my best friend April’s state of Iowa. It’s extracted from some sort of leaf in China and helps with pain. It gives you the same kind of rush as an Oxy or opioid pain pill would. But it also helps a ton with pain! My right shoulder has been killing me for days. So anyway, I took more than I should have yesterday because it knocked me out and made me sleep for hours. It gave me a good little rush at first before I crashed and fell asleep! 😏I’m still kind of hungover this morning but I slept a lot of it off. It also helps decrease appetite which is my favorite part! Haha. The pain is gone and it gives you a sense of euphoria, so I’ve been in a really good mood  the past couple of days. 😉

I got paid last night, thank God! I’ve gotta get some groceries and I’m thinking about getting some more gel pens and another adult coloring book. Art is so relaxing for me. 

Have a wonderful days, guys!!! Love you!!!
