I know, I know.

I go weeks not posting, then I don't stop posting all night. 's just, well, I managed to get myself all depressed with my last post, so I am going to share one of my silver-lining happy moments from work:

S., the friend at work who discovered a few month that she has stage 4 breast cancer, is undergoing heavy-duty chemo. So she is nauseous a lot. A lot a lot. And since she has cancer nodules on her lungs, she doesn't want to smoke out to deal with the nausea.

And the entire Coop came together to strategize (a) finding her a supplier and (b) inventive ways to get the pot into her body that don't involve either smoke or sugar. Seriously, it was awesome. All the generations of staff, managers and grunts, we all stopped bitching at each other for a few days and helped her break the law. It was beautiful.

That is so cool. What happened?

At the moment she's trying eating it in butter (pot is fat-soluble; learn new things every day), and in her granola. We found a recipe on the internet for pot ice cream, and the plan is to try and make ice cream with stevia instead of sugar. Actually she doesn't know that's the plan yet. T'will be a surprise.

Cool! That's very sweet. It may not help her at all, but my mother found ginger candy very helpful during her chemo. For a short while she also found sucking on sour lemon drops was helpful.

Oh, no sugar. *facepalm*

Well, we work in a health food store. I'm sure somebody out there sells sugarless ginger candy or lemon drops, and probably one of our suppliers carries it. She's been mainlining ginger tea for awhile now; I'll let her know about the sour lemon drops.
