Share Something Good

I had a fun time with my family today. My dad had an appointment that was in another town, and I decided to tag along. The drive was one hour to and back. I had a fun time listening to music and looking at the different landscapes. Afterwards, we all decided to eat somewhere and enjoy our time together. This was something I really needed with how my mental health has been lately.

I just ate half a jar of gourmet anchovy stuffed olives for breakfast. It was like I couldn't get them in my mouth fast enough.

I was able to spend time with my family this week and have a fun time.

I can't believe this thread has only three posts. It should have more posts.

Something good, I have finished all the Christmas gift shopping and made all the Christmas cards. And I think I set a new personal record this year, I was done with all of it on December 2. Usually it sneaks up on me and I start ordering things in a panic around December 15th.

I took on some new responsibilities at my job. Today, I did a really good job in a busy environment and I understand enough of my new role to have great confidence that it will be manageable. I will get a small but much needed increase in my pay and I really need that.

I’m so excited for Christmas! I can’t wait to open my gifts. I’m an adult, and I love to open gifts lol. I got all my gifts wrapped for my parents.

The cookies I baked all got eaten. Everyone at my office liked them! Yay!

I was unable to sleep much last night because I was anxious about today. This morning I was due to have electricians back in to hack into my walls again. And then this afternoon I was due to go to work at my new gardening job. But it turns out that nothing needed to be changed with the electrics and the gardening session has been cancelled because the boss is sick. So it's only 9:30 and I've suddenly found that I have a quiet empty day. Little victories.

I got my chip in my tooth fixed today and had no cavities!

I am making a very delicious mushroom soup for dinner. I made it once before, when my mother was staying, about a year ago, and we all agreed it was one of the best soups we'd ever eaten.

I am alive today because I had an accident this morning. I accidentally cut myself on my work knife. I’m in the waiting room now. I am lucky that I coagulate fast.

I had a situation this morning which would normally cause a rift between my mother and I, but I managed to handle it without a big argument. It's a small thing, but important.

I've found that my brain doesn't do switching topics very well. I was working and my mother phoned to ask me to make a minor decision about something. At this point my brain feels like it's fractured. I know what I need to do but my thoughts just won't go there - I can't put words together and make a sentence. Usually I'd get very frustrated and blow up and that point. But instead I was able to just accept that this is an autism thing, and I calmly explained that to her and our day is going to be better for it.

My husband's brother said some really nice things about me to my husband. He said that I'm the first decent wife he's had, as his previous two wives turned out to be insecure narcissists who stole, cheated, lied, and lacked compassion. I'm the first woman he married who is loyal, easygoing, honest, loving, caring and compassionate, and I have never given him any problems or grief in the whole 9 years we have been together.

Yet Aspies/ADHDs are supposed to be bad at relationships?? It seems to flow naturally for me.
