Going to the Zoo today!

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Going to vote for the first time today here in Canada. Hoping to NOT be the 51st state.

I wish this was more organized. I'm glad I have my phone with me. ._.

I don't want that either. I would like to visit Canada someday.

We did not go to the Zoo. But we had lunch with a friend at a French restaurant and market then bought some amazing pastries. Now we're hosting a friend who needs a place to crash for the weekend. Bonus for working on my miniatures.
