Good morning.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Mother convinced me to get five more trellises total which is more than double what's out there but it's raining so I'm not planting right now and also that's so much energy I'm scared I'll keel over while planting.

I didn't keel over but I was sick. Not related to the gardening, probably something with the enlarged spleen. Anyway, there's now 64 tomatoes planted. We'll see how many survive.

Can't wait to disassociate and play video games tomorrow.

cant wait until the day is done so i can continue my honor mode run of bg3 the danger of all being lost to a game over certainly is a rush, and i understand why some people play exclusively ironman modes in most games now

I just finished my first playthrough. Waiting to start another.

i decided to go with the dark urge since it has a more clear backstory, but i certainly plan to play most other origins and custom backgrounds :3 i love such a deep replayability so much

Being able to properly talk about frustrations in the workplace with folks who deny and can do it well just add to it. It’s like they know how to play against my attempt at healthy nature and know I’ll crumble. Being a supervisor with the need of workflow hinders significantly when there is so much lack of it up the totem pole. The trapped feeling of this is what’s preventing me from going anywhere else since anywhere else will be a significant pay cut that’ll end up forcing me in to debt. Gotta love the tied hands aspect of lacking consistency and flow. Big benefit of my special interest being in computers is I can completely shut out the world to get back to my other work by diving in to the digital world.

No no no. That usually means someone has cut my fiber or screwed up a fiber jumper!
