Wall of sadness

Note: I wrote this over a week ago but couldn't quite bring myself to post it at the time. I sort of retreated into myself for a while. I'm better now. It started like a normal day at work. I sifted through my work tickets, trying to prioritize them to see which ones needed to...

Turbulence

I had a dream a few nights ago that my partner and I were walking through a residential neighborhood. It had the same sort of feel as the nicer side of the city where we first met and used to drive around to look at all of the beautiful old houses, but it didn't match...

Ouch^2

(By the way, this is not the dream post that I tried to start a few days ago. That one is still marinating in my drafts folder.) So after several false starts, spring has finally sprung in my neck of the woods! Everything is growing, blooming, bursting with life (and pollen 😮) and it's so...

No words, have a spider instead

There's been a lot going on lately, and I've started at least a half dozen blog entries in my head, only to have them never make it to the keyboard. Lots going on tends to equate to 'less spoons than usual' in my world. Last night I had a really interesting dream, and I even...

Fan clubbed

I've been feeling pretty decent lately, so I decided to tackle one of the household protects I had on hold: painting the room where we enter the house downstairs. I don't know if 'mudroom' is the right word for it, but it's where we hang coats and take off muddy shoes so I guess that...

Rules of Clothing

Am I the only person who tucks in their shoelace ends because the tapping of the little plastic aglets at the tips against the surface of the shoe causes me sensory issues? I've become more and more noise-sensitive over time and this sound causes me distress as I walk down the echo-y halls at work....

Water balloon

Content warning: skip this one if you are squeamish about bodily fluids.Last month, I had a fairly large tattoo put on my left upper arm. It was something I'd planned for some time, commemorating the journey I've been on with my medical issues and autism diagnosis in a positive way. I was fortunate enough to...

Dormancy

I haven't been around here much the past few months. I haven't really been anywhere else online, either. Work has been... rough... and I don't have much in the way of energy left at the end of each day so I've retreated into myself, mostly. I'm fine, though. Really. I took advantage of the little...

Autopilot.

I tend to go on 'autopilot' at times; I'll complete a sequence of events - sometimes fairly elaborate or lengthy - without having any conscious recollection of doing so afterwards. I think we all do that sometimes. I know I've had lots of times where I've gotten halfway to a destination and didn't remember driving...
