If only the good die young, Trump will be immortal.
But I'm hoping for a persistent vegetative state.
I've been not getting enough sleep for a week, but I chalk it up to not exercising the way I used to. Today I'm going for at least a 5 mile walk, and if I can keep that up I know I'll be able to get back to sleeping properly.

Watching bees in the backyard, going all over the Italian sage plant. I can do that for hours.

Sensory sensitivity can present in a lot of different ways, and some of them are easy to mask.
I don't like my hands feeling sticky or slimy. *Really* don't like it. When I'm doing anything that might cause that, I wear disposable gloves. I keep boxes of them in the house, all over, so they're right there. People have told me how smart and prepared I am, when I'm cooking or cleaning or doing anything else that might get on my hands.

I accidentally made dessert butter, once. Suitable for pancakes, waffles, baking sweets. It was supposed to be whipped cream for Thanksgiving pies, but I got distracted and the mixer kept mixing until we had dessert butter.

Aren't we all "high functioning" when we have a place where we can function properly? Whatever that looks like for each of us?
@ashleyspencer @actuallyautistic I am soon (hopefully) to be on my own, truly, for the first time in my life.
It is equal parts exciting and equal parts terrifying.
I'm only using it to drive to work and back home. I don't think I could take more than that.
Workers who live on the coasts saw an increase in our tax bills.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
