between the dust and the debris

I’ll update later today (it’s after midnight, it’s today!) with hair and cat photos, if I don’t completely forget. As you do. It’s snowy snow snowing outside again. Another 4″ on top of the 8″ we had (that, to be fair, had melted down by half at least) over the weekend, with [...]

I’m telling you every day

Like most days at work, I’ve been hanging out on the autism hub reading; like very few days, I’m actually responding to something I read.
So, Sarah talked about self-diagnosis and the hate that seems to come with that word (or similar, like self-identifying or self-labelling). Some of what she said I found really meaningful, [...]

we’ll work it out

First of all, I think that this expresses my current mood best. There is a box of sugar cookies behind me, taunting.
True story: I once made Dylan a sugar cookie fiend out of fleece and it plays the sugar cookies rampage. I am aware that you are stunned at my awesome.
I’m also currently [...]

24 and I feel old

Can’t do cartwheels anymore
Wrap me up against the cold
I’d be happy if I wasn’t bored
Went down to Mom’s over the weekend–my weekend, anyway. I went down on Sunday and came back late Monday night. We put up a wall vinyl she’s been wanting, which looks pretty good. She fed me all the [...]

you would love me

I have not, contrary to what it may look like, dropped off the face of the earth.
Since my last post, I have:
1. Gone to the doctor, quit the useless imitrex (anyone need some? I have leftovers), and been scheduled for meetings with the opthamologist and an mri.
2. Done those things. The mri was [...]

I’ve been down

Those other posts! They must wait. I am having waaaaay too much fun with the autism hub, which has become my renewed favourite autism-centric place now that autism.change.org has officially closed its doors. All will be well–it’s going to be a generalist disability blog, although I’m not sure if the url is [...]

tidy up the order of events

Mom came up yesterday. She brought me a chair, pet the kitten, and then we talked for a while–longer than she planned–about Asperger’s and why I sought a label and how it has helped me order my life. She had a few suggestions for parts of my childhood that were probably characteristic that [...]

gonna listen to what my mother said

So, I’ve had this here blog thing less than a week, and my mom found it. I’m not sure if she’s still reading it, or if it was a one-time read-through, revlusion/horror/sadness sort of deal, because I haven’t posted since she told me–for fuck’s sake, I’d barely had a chance to make a dent [...]
