Autism

Hanukkah party tonight. Mother got me, twin, and my husband a gift. I know me and twins but unsure about husband's. He was ready to not get a gift (mother really dislikes him) and gave her an out with he thought the gift she got me was for both of us cause it's so helpful for me (it will be)

But she got something.

I feel okay so dear fuck do I hope that sticks until and through the party. Mother knows I'm going through medical shit hell though so if I have to leave (all three of us would though) she might not be that mad.

I'm broke. My gift to her to candied jalapeños and apple butter for her husband. I'll also give her the first items made in the pressure canner.

Nice red carpet

I was planning on driving 300+ miles this weekend to take the fam over to my folks for Christmas but there's a big storm on the mountain pass between us. So, we decided to stay home.

In some ways it's disappointing because I haven't seen my parents and siblings for a bit but I'm also kind of relieved that we can have a quiet, relaxing week. It's usually pretty chaotic at my parents house and driving so far in the winter out here is stressful.

It's bittersweet, kinda like really dark chocolate. 🍫

I'm trying to mod NVMe support into my 12 year old motherboard's UEFI. I could probably do without it, but where's the fun in that?

Went cycling with a friend, it was very muddy and dark, but was nice catching up. We stopped at this little cafe for mugs of glogg. I picked up a christmas tree on the way home. We are organizing a christmas party for friends tomorrow (unless this throat ache turns to something more serious...), which is nice! I feel like a new page has turned and it's time to start doing things instead of waiting them to happen.

Oh yes, one of my two cats LOVES the felt texture of the ribbon-dancer. (The other cat expresses cat-like indifference.) I don’t understand how he can stand chewing on it, that would immediately drive my sensory nerves and neurons into red alert. Weirdo cat. 😂❤️🐈
