Yesterday was my birthday. I always do some divination for myself. Since I've been practicing Being Present, I haven't done as many personal readings for myself over the last few months. Loki wanted me to use His deck, and I pulled a card that said, "Stop talking. Just shut up and listen."
I answered, "Ok, what's your message, Loki?"
In my mind, I saw 'Happy Birthday!'
I laughed and I thanked him. Cute and funny.
Yesterday I went to Yellow Springs (Ohio) with my BFF and her mama. We've been going to YS once a year since 2006. Did something that I've never done--BFF and I popped THC gummies and went shoppin! I've taken THC gummies before, but I prefer CBD to THC. I've experimented enough with THC gummies that I know my limit. I'm more confident with THC now. Only took me about 2-3 years. I started trying THC after my mom's death. I think I tried CBD before her death, though, for my anxiety. That damn woman was causing me soooo much anxiety, and CBD took the edge off.
Fast forward to now and I'm better with THC. I don't take it as much as CBD, and I take CBD even less, especially as I've been practicing Being Present. I just haven't needed CBD as much. I still get random bouts of anxiety and only take CBD when my normal coping methods don't work. The gummies are a last resort for me. I don't want to have to rely on CBD or THC, you know? Who knows how long its going to be legal in Ohio?
I don't usually take CBD/THC for funsies, only when my usual anxiety coping methods don't work.
Yesterday, my Bestie and her mom had a plan for my 42nd birthday. Normally if I take THC, I stay home in my room, with my hubs present with the kids. But we were in Yellow Springs--a town known for spirituality, hippies, activists, artists, and even though THC is legal in Ohio, people understanding when you say, "Oh, shit that gummy's kickin in!" and not getting annoyed. I was a little nervous about being out in public high, but at the same time, I've never been high with best friend and her mom. Much less shopping!
Items on my bucket list that I didn't know existed.
The brand was Pearls, and each pearl was 30MG CBG & 10MG THC. I took 1/4 of it, because I didn't know how my body was going to react. Turns out that was perfect for me--honestly I could've had a half!
The first store we entered was The Joynt and I was immediately pulled in by the staffs/hiking sticks. They were handmade by a local artist and affordable. Some of them were so cool! As I looked, a blue modern-style witch hat fell off the top and almost landed on my head! I picked it up and put it on and looked at the other hats--there was also a pink and a light purple one. I love me some pink--I almost got the pink one, but then in the staff rack, I saw a blue staff that matched my new hat. I always wanted a modern witch hat, but they're usually made of wool, which I'm allergic to. However, I've been wanting to add more blue to my wardrobe, too, because it brings out my blue eyes. And the stick? I just love staffs.
With my hat on and staff in hand, we continued on our mission, hitting our favorites shops. Normally I get terrible buyers remorse, even on my birthday. The gummies removed that guilt and shame. I'm also really glad that my spirit guides were helping me shop:
- Is that a drawing tablet? No? Put it down.
- Where are you going to put that?
- You're beyond 101 remember?
- Is this Skip Ellison Ogham book? You don't need it.
- You don't need that.
- Are these photos?
- You have enough decks.
