Conducted an experiment today, in asking for accommodation.
Hubs does his laundry Saturday, and I do mine on Sunday, but that means I'm cooking my lunches and doing laundry on Sunday - stressing me out. He's off on Friday, so I said dealing with both laundry and cooking each Sunday is stressful, and I'd like him to do his laundry on Friday. I'll do mine on Saturday.
He agreed. No argument, no hassle, he just agreed. Experiment successful.

Something I just realized is probably a result of childhood autism:
I wasn't allowed to "fidget", so I developed other habits. One that I did a lot was bending one of my fingers into my clenched fist - I did it enough that I changed the bone formation, and that finger (on both hands) curves in. I think that was probably stimming.

4 yrs ago today, instead of going straight from my car into Marshall's to buy sneakers, I veered off into the PetCo next door. They were having an adoption event. ZOMG THERE WERE PUPPIES EVERYWHERE. I was defenseless. I brought this beautiful 9 month old orphaned bebe home with me. (She had survived parvo but her mama hadn't.) She's almost 5 now & still hasn't grown out of her puppy phase. & that's OK! β€οΈ #dogs #DogsOfMastodon #BelgianMalinois #HEYLADYWHEREAREWEGOING

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.
