Today I was feeling extremely tired even though I slept a lot like 10 years or so and I figured I’d take a little edible to smooth things out not even a full dose, but just enough to take the edge off while I worked from home. Usually our HOA meetings are on Tuesday nights so I thought I was in the clear. But apparently they’d moved it to Monday (today) at 9am and sent an email about it last week that I totally missed.

I joined the meeting (pretty high) when the Zoom notification popped up: “HOA Monthly Budget Meeting - starting now.” I joined late and I was already sweating and hoping to coast with my camera off (I had it off the whole time), but unfortunately I got called on to give an update on landscaping expenses. I clicked the unmute button and literally forgot how to fucking talk. This continued I think for like 10-15 seconds and the silence was so painful. My camera was on by then and I could literally see someone squinting at me like I was buffering in real life.

Pretty sure half the board thinks I had a stroke and the other half thinks I start the week with a dose lmao

TL;DR: hit an edible before the hoa meeting and froze when my turn came to talk
