I sent the FB message, but he hasn't picked it up. It is not unusual for people to not be available while at work, so I would expect him to check in after work hours if he is at the office today.

I stopped at a place called Wicked Chronic and picked up some CBD oil to see if it helps with my fibromyalgia. While I was there, I fist-bumped a woman who mentioned she was turning 70 next week. She said it's helped a lot with her fibro and her back pain.

Note: this is the pure, refined cannabinoid oil, nothing in it to actually get me high. I hope. I was always the one back in my college days who got very high on very little, so who knows.

Ugh, Katie Bee, what an unfortunate coincidence of rat and no water!

Hoping Gud is just busy with work.

Also hope the CBD oil helps, Theo. Many people swear by it.

Looks like I will be observing vote recounts for our Senate race Thursday thru Sunday. I routinely ignore phone calls from unknown numbers, but the number called twice in a row so I picked up.

I'm glad there'll be Buffista eyes on the process, Laura. Hope it goes well for you.

That's very cool, Laura. If probably incredibly boring in practice.

I want to try the CBD oil, but I only walk by the most convenient place that sells it when they are closed.

Cool, Laura! Thanks!

I have incoming inventory on a vessel named Sam Diego Bridge. That seems confusing. Fun thing I learned this week - while the aluminum tariffs are not directly impacting my company yet, the spectre of them hitting in 2018 has led to a general increase in imports from China in 2018 which means containers are in short supply so we are having a hard time moving our goods from our factories to our ports because we can't get containers to ship them in. Yay.

I'm sure it will be boring, although meeting the people will be nice. They seemed very pleased that I could do workday type hours so I'll be doing noon to 8PM for the 4 days. I'm not holding out hope of changing the outcome, but it still needs to be done. I'm grateful my schedule is so flexible.

I'm trying to talk DH into CBD oil for his RA pain. He's stubborn!

Timelies all!

I don't know what I did to it, but my left shoulder hurts when I move it. Time to pull out the massager, I think.

Wicked Chronic's "business card" is postcard-sized and can be folded so you can use it to roll your joints. There was a whole bunch of options that I'd never considered, like CBD salves you can rub in, patches for slow absorption, and edibles.

And also you can vape, which according to the salesperson is the quickest way to take effect. (Which is pretty much true of any drug -- passing in through the lungs right into the bloodstream.)

However, I think I'll start out with a quarter dose at dinnertime, to see if it helps with painsomnia. ::tries to look brave::
