The Upgrade & The Wave
A phase change is in progress. The cognitive trenchwork of early withdrawal is giving way to the Week‑5 Shift: a deep, somatic repair wave. Its signature is profound, groggy sleep and a persistent low‑grade irritability—a clean, sober signal the old system would have masked with THC. This is not a setback; it is a predicted biomarker, confirming the repair timeline is active and on‑schedule.
In response, the project’s technical scaffold underwent an upgrade. OBS Studio and a professional webcam are now integrated, transforming the shed from a written log into a broadcast‑ready documentary studio. This capability arrives precisely as the work enters its most visually documentable phase: the approach to the Two‑Month Wall.
Today’s work is to operate the new machinery while respecting the repair wave. To document the fatigue, not fight it. The goal is clear: to arrive at the Two‑Month Wall with both the lived experience and the production means to turn it into a public case study in real‑time.
On another note, for what ever reason, I sat down in front of the laptop yesterday and put papers together for a joint, so we logged it as the following: [Silver-Note: Procedural Ghosts - Motor‑Memory Artefacts in Recovery]
