I did something two days in a row! I'm doing it! I am moderating!

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.

I had my 2nd karate class of the week last night, and now my everything hurts.

Kicking drills kinda suck, NGL.

I'm trying to attend more things because I'm lonely. Life's been really bad lately so I need to change things even if it's really uncomfortable, and I'm sure it will be.

Can I recommend organized things like an art class, cooking class, recreational sport league, etc? They have this really great benefit of having a consistent and per-arranged schedule, and interpersonal interactions with a pre-established purpose.

I joined an intro rec softball league a few years ago, and have branched into things like karate lessons. They've been surprisingly good environments to just engage as much or as little as I want/need. Plus, they help overcome my inertia and actually move around some.

That's probably a good idea, maybe I can give myself a push and try that.

Work is being extra difficult today. It's not at the point where I'm in danger of burning out, but I'll sure be glad when I clock off for the day.
