We had thunder last night that shook our house for a full minute. Sounded like a train was rolling over us.

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.

It's been a good day. Renovations at home are progressing a bit, we got some supplies and tools today, hopefully tomorrow we'll actually get to start. Also bicycled to see a friend's kiddo who's growing up real fast! Last time the kid was really shy of us but now we played a lot together and even got hugs! I also had 2 ice creams and a great cup of coffee today! Sun was shining, spring is coming. Things are looking quite positive.

I had a rough couple weeks and it always frightens me how long the bad times will last and how bad it will get, but this week's been good and I feel quite relieved right now.

I have tendonitis because exercise is how I cope with the rise of fascism and I overdid it because, well, I think I now live in a dictatorship.

Now I can't exercise. And camping season just started for me. I'm staring out the window longing for the woods and the deserts and the mountains of the PNW hoping it will all still be there in a few weeks when my body is healed.
