Looking forward to getting my new specs. Then my eyelids might stop twitching and I’ll be able to see clearly again! 👓

It’s really depressing to see how many people - usually cis white males - are so anti diversity, equality, and inclusion. Also the fact that, as much as I’d like to think it’s ’keyboard-warrior’ bravado, they’re actually just as bigoted away from the internet, too.

The Legend of Zelda Sheikah inspired nails 🤩

It’s been a full-on week at work so far this week. I’m wiped out now! At least I can work from home for the rest of the week, and then I’ve got some annual leave booked.

Hope I haven’t peaked too early this week. Had a fabulous training session today with wonderful delegates, who expressed how great they found the session and especially me as their trainer. I’m exhausted now, and got the rest of the week ahead of me! 😬

First time ever in my life not feeling kind of jet lagged after the clock change. I don’t think I ever adjusted properly to being back on GMT. Clearly I operate better on BST!

It’s so great* when my brain does that thing of taking a scenario at work and convincing myself that I’ve done something wrong and I’m in trouble. Even though I haven’t and I’m not. Especially when it’s directly attributed to being autistic. *shit, I mean. Shit.

My (early) birthday-money purchase. Although my choice wasn’t related specifically to the infinity symbol for autism awareness & acceptance (I’ve had this ring on my wish list for years) it still feels very apt that it arrives today of all days, on Autism Awareness Day in Autism Awareness Month!

Aqua aerobics cancelled tonight and next week (guessing the instructor isn’t available and they can’t get an alternative). Thought I was ok with this. Actually, I’m not. 😭

The clocks haven’t even gone forward yet tonight and I feel pre-tired for it. 🙃

There’s a very good reason why I don’t tell anyone outside of work when I’m on annual leave, and today’s a prime example. I’ve had less time to myself than I get on a usual weekday (now I’ve cultivated the healthy habit of a proper lunch break). 🤦‍♀️

I wish whoever has left their dog alone and barking for most of the day so far would come home. It’s clearly unhappy and my nervous system cannot handle the barking.

Back in October I injured one of my toes. Since then, the nail has been black and I’ve been waiting for my toe to properly heal. This morning I was trimming my toe nails which caused the old nail to come off, revealing a regrown one underneath! I’m simultaneously in awe and utterly disgusted.

Happy #caturday

Me: yay weekend! I don’t need to get up early on Saturday! Also me: slept an extra hour & woke up with an awful migraine, which didn’t shift by sickness beforehand, which was also particularly bad 😢 gave in and took Migraleve (held off as it was my last 2 & my pharmacy think I buy it too often!)

I genuinely forgot it was World Book Day today until I saw friends with primary-school-aged children sharing photos of them dressing up 😂 and at that point, I’m not sorry to say, I breathed a huge sigh of relief!!! 😅 🤣

My brain is being such a dick right now. Had at least three unpleasant dreams that I can remember, and a fourth but I don’t remember details, last night. Why?!

Apparently the maximum number of browser tabs you can have open in Safari on iOS is 500. No need to ask me how I know this… 👀 🤭

So apparently lots of drivers can operate their fog lights, but only when it isn’t foggy. When it’s actually, genuinely, can’t-see-the-vehicle-in-front foggy, they stick to daylight runners or side lights, if you’re lucky. 🙃

Now have my diagnostic report. Oof, that hits hard. I thought I’d be fine and fully prepared for it; I’ve seen lots of these things now with the kids. But when it’s yourself? Ouch! #ActuallyAutistic

Had a lovely evening out last night with friends, and did my first ever pub quiz! However, in order to accommodate it I had to use flexitime to finish work early yesterday and start work late today, and I get a migraine to boot. This is one reason why I rarely socialise. #ActuallyAutistic
