    Shatter is a cannabis concentrate that is named for its hard, glass-like consistency that tends to crack, or shatter, when broken apart. It is typically gold or amber in color.

    While the high watermark for cannabis flower tends to sit around 30% THC, shatter extracts may test upward of 80% to 90% THC.

    staying home has weirdly been the only hard parts. I love to have wine while I cook and with the temps/weather that’s been the hardest part.

    Overall I’ve been working out on a consistent schedule, been sleeping awesome, and been in a good place. If I need the taste I’ll drink some NA stuff. The Guinness isn’t bad (watching Packer game last week I put back several of those).

    Overall, it’s been much easier than I thought it would be. For 38 years old, I’m in pretty good shape. But the lack of booze I’ve dropped 5 pounds and a loop from the belt and most toned I’ve been since my 20’s.

    Hit the golf simulator with a friend the other night and it’s the best I’ve felt after swinging 100 times in a long time.

    I had a dream that I was drinking at a party last night. Some idiot got stuck in an urn and I picked him up and smashed it and he didn't have legs and was playing a joke on everyone. I woke up and have felt hungover all day. Weird af.

    I still have them sometimes. Not as often as I did. I used to get mad but now I just laugh.

    When I did keto for 6 months a few years ago I would routinely dream about pizza/pasta/cinnamon rolls/etc all the time. Wish my brain was cool enough to dream about booze and drugs.

    Dyngus Day is a Polish holiday celebrated in Northern Indiana and Buffalo, NY. It’s the day after Easter so the joke has always been that it’s an extra day for Polish people to find their hidden eggs.

    It’s a big political day where both parties local and national candidates are out interacting with drunk voters for support. I’ve been celebrating since high school, when we’d take lunch and hang out in parking lots.

    It’s honestly one of my favorite days. I know he’s sober but I’m sure NilesIrish has some tales. He was pals with Jackie Walorski IIRC.

    I'm probably going to eat some THC 0 gummies tonight.

    I miss the relaxing aspect of drinking a glass bottle of wine and just chillin on a Friday night at home with some shitty reality TV

    Medication...
    You need a California medical card. Go through the sign up and schedule your zoom call with a doctor. It's about $50. I've used it exclusively for 2 years. Fantastic. Had a $1200 order never show up and they reshipped it.

    Top notch customer service.

    Just typing this out. Interesting. Might do it. Do you need special treatments for mushrooms or just get a generic card and you can have access to whatever drugs you'd like?

    Nothing special. Just a medical recommendation from a California doctor. They have the link on there to schedule it. It's top quality. My neighbor has used it for 4 years.

    19 days in, pretty sure this is the longest I’ve gone without a drink since…high school?

    Sleeping (and waking up) better, workouts better, and don’t really miss it too much. Last night was a test though. Super stressful week and then went to dinner with family. I was staring down my wife’s martini pretty hard.

    I think this is my 3rd or 4th year doing this. Seems to get a little easier each year. That said, we have been iced in and the kids haven’t been to school in a week. Definitely wanted to join my wife, and everyone else in the neighborhood, in having a beer while sledding etc.

    Like many evenings, my dad was at the local bar last night. He drove home successfully but didn’t come inside. He’s been known to sit in his car and chat on the phone so my mom didn’t think much of it. He’s also been known to stumble and fall down in a stupor unable to get himself back up, so after a few minutes my mom went to check on him. She found her husband face down and unresponsive on top of a storm drain twenty feet away from his car. My brother couldn’t find a pulse and began cpr. The EMTs also couldn’t find a pulse and spent many minutes trying to resuscitate in front of my parents’ house. Somehow the hospital got his heart going again when he arrived. His BAC at the hospital was .23. The entire right side of his skull is broken, his face is swollen, he has spinal fractures. I don’t know if I can show him to my kids so they can say goodbye.

    We don’t know if he had a heart event and that caused the fall, or if the alcohol and icy concrete did it and the blunt head trauma caused his heart to stop. I just finished knocking on several neighbor’s doors to see if they had any home security camera footage of him falling.

    The doctors are running their tests but he has near zero neurological function. Turns out that doctors legally can’t make pronouncements such as brain death while a patient has alcohol in their system. So we have to sit and wait until his heart fails in the ICU or his body (with a much lowered metabolic activity) clears all the alcohol so we can move him to hospice. One doctor said it could take 48 hours, I dunno. Alcohol still controls his life, even at the end.

    I lost my dad to alcohol twenty years ago and I lost him again last night.

    I am so angry and hurt.

    Love you Dad.

    Thanks for reading.
