Good weather. I'm getting about 5 gallons of maple tree juice per day - it oughta continue like this for the next week. Should end up with lotsa syrup.
Anyone else play with Legos when your were a kid (and maybe still do)?

Used to as a child. Gifted the huge crate of Lego I'd gathered in my childhood and gave it to an ex's son. He's 4 now and on the spectrum and loves to build.

Yes, although for some reason I found it hard to build Lego structures so my mum did it for me and I'd just play with the little Lego men in her Lego houses

No, but just reading about such things brings back nice childhood memories. :)
Reading the dictionary is so much fun.. it is crazy that all we read and everything we hear and say can be found in this one book. It's a shame that I'm too low class to use the cooler and complex vocabulary.

I would do that. I always wondered what determined which words got a picture description. Only 1 or 2 words per page were so lucky.

How clandestine...
Dispute my earlier meltdown due to my mother insulting me in the phone when I called her earlier, my friends from church still treated me for lunch out to eat. I take them for granted, what my narcissistic parents put me through.

I am so glad that you realize you may be normal, it's just your parents derailed your perception of yourself. Like you should be chastised or belittled for just existing. My parents were excellent at this. But l try my best to be respectful to others unless they loose that privilege.

I try to treat others with respect, especially if they are in jobs that require a lot of negotiations with people who are angry and/or traumatized. I once had a pharmacist who said she liked dealing with me because I was always calm and levelheaded. She tended to get screamed at by customers all day.
When I was 21, I had no problems finding a group of guys to spend a Saturday night with, eating pizza, drinking Mountain Dew, watching movies. I'm no longer 21 and all of those guys are no longer in my life. Now friendship is more about quality than quantity, although I do want to expand my social network.
Therapy or faith doesn't really help. I'm living proof of it.

It's best to just do therapy anyway because whenever we vent on here at least we can say we done therapy whenever we're asked the inevitable "have you tried therapy?"
Well, since our car finally gave out on us a month ago we have been in and out of hotel rooms trying to stay out of the weather. According to my mother we are almost at the "finish line" as she puts it, I heard we are supposed to be getting an apartment soon. Please pray for me and my folks that we don't have to be in the rain today.

Wishing and hoping that you all have a warm and dry place today.

Well, it rained cats and dogs here. Freezing cold came with it and begging at gas stations was about as profitable as playing tic tac toe against a cockroach. Thankfully I have heard the mention of an Uber to a local motel where a new friend may let us rest for the night

So get this: didnt make a lot of money asking at the gas stations today but instead of cash somebody gave us a FREAKING HOTEL ROOM!! Guy just gave me the room key!! It's good until tomorrow morning, so at least we can get some sleep and not have to be out in the open.
I feel like maybe starting off my exercise routine with cardio twice a day may be overkill.

when l first started, it was 20 mins cardio, l finally was up to 50 mins. l have to restart, l had to many errands to do. So l will do 30. But l throw in 20 on the bike, the rest is treadmill.

I also started with 20 minutes a day. Then I started with 20 minutes twice a day. Now, I can do 45 - 60/day. Sometimes, it is all together and sometimes, I still split it up.
I have an overwhelming autistic urge to say "Om nom nom nom nom mushrooms" and I really, really, REALLY do not know why. It's been a recent little habit of mine.

Does it always have to be only four noms?

Not nessissarily. The amount of noms I say are based on how goofy I wanna be. To that end. I have felt particularly happy today. So my goofiness is also up.

So here's today's creation. This took 1/4th of the time the previous one did. Ya know, getting some real feedback while I was at the art tutoring place has really helped me with motivation and such. They particularly liked how I did the hair on the previous ones. I dont have a name for her yet.

This is the day! The day I try! Because this is the day! The day I die!

Come set me free, all pain is gone!

All pain undone, all pain is gone!
