TIFU by getting stupid high and going to Walmart

Some basic facts: I’m a married woman with three kids. I live in a medical and recreational state. I have a med card.

So, I’ve been looking forward to today for a few days now. I had to drive to town today to sign my part of the taxes, an excellent excuse to enjoy some time away from the kids. And as we’ve just gotten our stimulus, I decided to make a day of it, go and get a bunch of things done and purchased that I’d been putting off, then pick up a few medical grade chocolate bar edibles, as yesterday my MIL offered to take the kids overnight tonight. Woohoo!

I left this morning a little after 10am. It takes about 30 minutes to get to town; we’re rural. I got my errands done in the downtown area and, coming out of the final shop, turned and got to check out the shiny, new medical dispensary. Neat! And I got an extra lollipop with the chocolate bars. 10mg. Ooh fun!

And then I ate it without thinking....(I realize now this was not smart)

I made a couple of quick stops, maybe 30 minutes, and was at Taco Bell eating by 1pm. Then I went to Walmart. Just a couple of minutes down the road.

I noticed fairly quickly that it’d been I while since I’d been inside Walmart. I had to really try to remember where the departments were. I wanted flashlights for the kids for when the power goes out. By the time I’d safari hunted down a Walmart mil employee and then found the flashlights, I was walking around the aisles in circles trying to find my way to the registers. At the registers, I was needing to slightly lean up against the self-checkout machines.

But then, success! I made it back to the minivan. Oh sweet relief!

I checked the packaging on the lollipop. 50mg.....

So now, I’m stuck at the Walmart. The receipt says 2pm. After taking time to explain my FU to my hubby and that I won’t been home for a while, I realize it’s taken more then 2 hours for me to write this post. I think I might be here for a while, which is a bummer.

Luckily, I just happened to land the best possible location to be stranded, especially as a woman, in a very rural area. It’s a 24-hour Walmart, so I’ve got bathrooms and supplies and can legally park in my car for as long as I need. I just happened to park in sight of a light and security cam. I’m in town, so there’s delivery. I’ve still got some Taco Bell and Pepsi. I’ve got my charging cable. And the wireless is pretty good. So, I got that going for me, which is nice.

TL;DR: Ate an edible while running errands in town, thought it was 10mg. It was 50. Happened to be shopping at Walmart when it kicked it. Now I’m stuck here.

Edit: I was all bummed b/c my lighter was dying (cigarettes, not more weed) and I was gonna have to lady-up and go inside to get a new one. But, huzzah! I found an extra in my jacket pocket.

Edit 2: I sobered up and made it back home safely. Thanks and good wishes to all who kept me company. Have a good evening all!

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
