At this time, if it hasn't been clear to others, the herbal meds, supplements, cancer, psychological status, and more, has me handing control of my sleep schedule over to.... some consciousness other than -me-.
That said, this morning, after the startling waking experience of feeling like I was being suffocated, though I eventually tried to lay back down, I didn't sleep well after, and ended up staying awake.
It's a bit early to tell, but this might be round 2 or 3 of my body getting close to changing the order for sleep hours, energy for physical activity, and etc.
While I have been dizzy several times today when standing up, I never actually fell, only tipping part way sideways once or twice. Tested glucose at those times, thinking that might be it, but the numbers were all within normal range (*I test both hands when I do test, which might be once a week, once a day in crisis, once a month, or once every 6 months, depending on how I've been feeling. I usually involve one non-dominant finger in the center of each hand; sure enough, 111, and 115.. completely acceptable for a guy who sits on his ass most of the time, and ate a bit more today than the past 2 months worth of days.
I hope to never have that feeling of suffocation and insufficient O2 ever again; that was a bit frightening or at least disconcerting...
I'll have a fair bit more of my CBD flowers here as of Saturday or Monday, and with the purchase of another lb. or so beyond what I have here and what's coming Monday, soon, I should be set for CBD extract until 3-1/2 years out; keep the raw flowers multi-layered and sealed in the freezers, and process 2-3 months worth at a time. 5 years would feel a lot better, considering some of the changes in the wind, but, we'll get done what we can.
Time to eat some CBD flowers, then, in a while, some of my THC flowers. Maybe I'll be coherent, energized and awake long enough today to actually achieve something other than breathing and showering; we'll see?

Fun story for the day; spoke with an old friend near Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada, via telephone this evening, and we discussed a number of issues, covering medical, families, 2020, and others.
There's a really good butcher shop in Whitehorse, YT. There used to be others, but small towns, glass ceiling economic circumstances, etc.
Anyway, this one place makes some of the better landjaeger; one of my and my friend's favorite sausages, which originate from the wooded hills and mountains between Switzerland and Germany. Shelf stable, typically cold-smoked and cold-cured 'hunter sticks' primarily made of beef and pork, requiring no refrigeration for months at a time. (We would consume many of his landjaeger or mine over the years, each of us sourcing our supplies from our preferred shop; mine being in Seattle, at Pike Place Market, in a German meat market there, known as Bavarian Meats. (Wonderful folks, btw)
Well, the place in Whitehorse, where my friend likes to buy his meats, and where we have been numerous times when we were over visiting and fishing, is a smaller private operation, doing limited production and processing, both commercial and custom.
Someone had brought the fellow some form of THC (in what form of extract or process I don't know right now), to have some THC-infused jerky made.
At this time I don't know how it came to pass, whether it was malicious, involving a disgruntled employee, or an accident, or folks getting sideways on the job, or (????), but, yep, you guessed it, the THC infused jerky accidentally (??) made its way to the local commercial meat markets, and approximately 10 purchases were made of the stuff in Whitehorse, and LOTS of the product consumed in short order (we all like smoked cured meat snacks, right?? Who here opens a pack of GOOD snack sausage and has ONE BITE??? ).
That was where the problems began, with at least one home's occupants believing they had been hit with CO poisoning, and all going to the hospital. Another couple or family reportedly had a 3-year-old. I didn't hear what that family did, believed, or felt
I was told that at this time, there's an apparent de facto divide on FB in Whitehorse; one group of persons wanting to know for sure if all the product has been pulled from shelves, one group wanting to know where they can get this stuff (It's been pulled from the shelves, the RCMP are investigating, no answers yet as to who, what, how, or why, other than for 'THC' and 'jerky,' and, sadly, the fear at this time is that this fellow who has done such a fine job with his butcher shop in Whitehorse, may or may not suffer some serious loss of business, due to trust issues and concerns of safety, quality control, etc.), and attitudes ranging from anger and distrust/betrayal, to substantial amounts of comedy..
I'm told there's lots of humor about 'grass-fed beef' in their social media recently.
