I’m pretty sure my Aspie superpower is inadvertently pissing off my partner

So yesterday, when we got up and were getting coffee and feeding the animals, my partner suggested that we could head out to a local park we like to go to, and stop on the way at the new breakfast restaurant we had been meaning to try while we were on vacation.  I was pretty...

I’m not sharing my coffee with you…

I was outside on the porch drinking coffee this morning and spotted this quirky looking little bug on my mug.  I gave it a little nudge with my finger and it sprang a good four feet through the air, startling me as much as I must have started the bug.  The bedroom painting odyssey continues......

Shearing day

A friend of ours lives in a gated community that has a pool, and invited us to come hang out at the pool today. I was initially very excited, because I absolutely love to swim! And then as I was trying to remember where I'd stored my bathing suit, I realized I had a quandary:...

Nap sandwich

After taking it real easy for the first couple of days of my staycation, today I felt up to tackling a couple of chores. I'd been promising to trim back the way-overgrown privet bushes as soon as they were done blooming, and that was over a week ago, so I figured I'd start there. It...

Another Millipede Monday

Big beauty of a millipede - Eater-of-Things found it under the privet bushes. 

Not sure if anything will come of this but…

I signed up for an account on the forum of one of the larger Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome sites and posted there asking for some suggestions on where I might look for answers to my issues. I am not sure if that's the right place to be looking, but a lot of my research on...

Down a rabbit hole

Featured Image: A soggy sacrificial seahorse, nudged onto the laptop by Eater-of-Things - who was trying to get my attention away from the screen I'd been glued to for hours. This morning, in spite of my looking forward to sleeping in, I was up at five. My first impulse was to capitalize on that early...

POTS is the pits

Featured Image: a slightly scruffy looking black, yellow, and blue swallowtail butterfly, hovered in mid-flight over the flowers of a privet bush. This week was rough. Because I have taken next week off as vacation time (more of a recuperation period than a vacation) my intention was to focus on getting as many of my...

The Universe trolled me hard today

Yesterday at work, I was running between two of the buildings I work at and came across a bunch of purple viney plant parts strewn across the parking lot. I am not sure how it got there - maybe someone had been transporting an overgrown hanging plant and lost some of it? But I felt...
