Weekend accomplishments, 4-day weekend edition

Thursday I made my apple pie and that was accomplishment enough for one day.

Friday I did some online Christmas shopping, but made a point of staying home because to hell with Black Friday. Besides, I've done my Christmas shopping exclusively online for about 20 years now. I honestly couldn't tell you when the last time I was inside of a mall was

I hear you on the in-person shopping. I normally get most of my holiday gifts online, then go out and support a few local businesses with stocking stuffers and a couple grocery store gift cards for the people I know need them. It's a tiny town, so no malls, thank god.

And thank you for the rec for Binoid! I just ordered some gummies at a good price, so we'll see how they go.

Oh, it didn't even occur to me to tell you (and you probably figured it out from their website), but they also have regular, Delta 9 THC gummies. They won't ship to states that don't have legal recreational marijuana, so I can only buy the alternates (Delta 8, THC-P, -O, -H, whatever else they can pull out of industrial hemp), but obviously you wouldn't have a problem. They almost never charge the full price, there's always some kind of sale, and they have a good rewards system, so to be sure to set up an account.

I actually didn't notice, so thank you. :) I tend to have, shall we say, whimsical reactions to edibles (everything on the spectrum from "Well, this is a waste of my time" to "I feel good in a funny way/I feel funny in a good way" to "I can hear colors and see sounds" to "I can't feel my arms & legs and I think I can see Jesus", so I thought I'd go with this and then ramp up from there as needed.

I'll be sure to set up an account, too! I think this may be my way to go since smoking is likely out of the picture for me due to recurrence of Throat Monster. If there's some way I can give you points or something for referring a friend, let me know.

I think everyone has differing reactions to edibles. I've given up on the tinctures, which are just wildly unpredictable. A third of the time it would have the desired effect, a third of the time nothing would happen, and a third of the time it would kick in like 12 hours later as I was driving to work. Gummies I have better luck with if I take them about an hour before eating a meal, and use a vape to kind of goose them along a little.
