Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 241 , Tuesday 25/06/2024

Up around 6am as per , house elf duties have to be done.

Once again I get to around 10am & very last drop of motivation has been driven from me.

Today is bathroom cleaning day.

I put out new towels, which herself put thru the washing machine , I really don’t know what she does with them but they end up in the airing cupboard so stiff you could use them as offensive weapons!

You would think I would be used to this after 25 years, but no, it still triggers me.

Along with all the other triggers of stuff not cleaned , stuff not put away properly & overfeeding the cats .. poof all the plans for today have been eroded away.

Still I guess I should be grateful ,we have a roof over our heads, a car to take us places & food to eat.
Many have so much less.

Just had a call from an Occupational Therapist, they wanna come round in the morning & assess me … eeek!!!
Then I have to go see Beth , the MH Practitioner who first suspected that I was ND & set me on this path.
I left frustrated last time because she failed to understand how triggering Mrs S. is.

Final Thoughts.

I don’t know what it is like for other couples , but I REALLY wish Mrs S. would treat this as OUR house not HER house.

I am really stressed about tomorrow, a stranger in the house judging me, judging the fact that I have not been able to do so many things around the house that should have been done!

Roast Squirrel anyone ?

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 240 , Monday 24/06/2024

TL:DR

Up around 6am having slept fairly well.

Sorted out the bins & various other chores & then settled down to catch up on Fediverse frolics!

So two things drifted across my mind today:

Firstly I was preparing salad yesterday & as is my occasional wont I mistook the tip of the ring finger on my left hand for a radish & merrily sliced into it with a very sharp knife!
Understand that this was not a deep or in any way heath threatening cut, it was a tiny cut that , after about 12 hours with a plaster round it is more or less healed.
My point is this , it hurt like buggery & bled like I’d hit an artery! What is it about ones fingers that this should be? I mean I know that I’m on blood thinners for the old Ectasia but really you see folks on ER with their limbs hanging off who don’t bleed as much as a when you cut the tip of your finger! Also I know that that ones finger tips are full of nerves but come on - a little sense of proportion wouldn’t go amiss !

Secondly Brits , like my good self, are renowned the world over for our favourite topic of conversation , namely the weather! Hey we live (currently) in a temperate climate & have a lot of weather!!
I say we converse, lets be honest here what we do generally is complain about it , we have mastered the art of chronic bitching in fact ! It’s either too cold , too wet , too foggy & rarely too hot!
For the last 2 days the country was nearly silent (apart from the footy fans , but let’s not go there!) why - because for 2 days we passed thru the eye of the storm (pun intended) & hit 20ºc , with sunny weather !
This is pretty much the ideal temperature for your average Brit, so we were, temporarily stumped! How could one complain?
Today the temperature continued up so normal service was resumed & we explored the unusual concept of hot , dry (if muggy) weather!

Struggling to concentrate on pastimes today again, I need to get back in there on the gaming front, the ‘Adrift’ NMS expedition needs completing before I run out of time !

Final Thoughts.

Summer is finally here, warm weather, salads & the sounds of the local brass band practicing in the background. Still there’s bound to be something to complain about 😆.

Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

@HeatherMJ @actuallyautistic Indeed 😆

@lunaticatlarge @actuallyautistic Ouch !

Sadly I was abusing radishes so my finger just gushed like a mini version of the Emperor fountain at Chatsworth!

(Ok there maybe a tiny bit of artistic license there 😆 )

Tim_McTuffty OP , 2 days ago

@lunaticatlarge @actuallyautistic It does !
I must have tonnes of it lurking somewhere , nary a sign of a vampire around the Squirrel Den!

Tim_McTuffty OP , 2 days ago

@lunaticatlarge @actuallyautistic It’s an interesting idea - once upon a time when I cooked a lot more than I do now I would always have a garlic bulb lurking somewhere.

I wonder if lazy garlic would be as effective … I could acquire a jar of that.

Thanks 😊

@lunaticatlarge @actuallyautistic It works on cold callers too 😆

Tim_McTuffty OP , 2 days ago

@lunaticatlarge @actuallyautistic I keep meaning to answer with something like “Hi you are thru to cannibals are us, please place your order after the beep! “
But I have the memory of a concussed goldfish so I always forget 🙄🤦‍♂️ 😆

@lunaticatlarge @actuallyautistic Things to experiment with !

Tim_McTuffty OP , 2 days ago

@PixysJourney @actuallyautistic Hey Cynni 😊

It was hardly an amputation, but it hurt like buggery!

The weather is mad these days , so unpredictable, ah well better hot than cold I guess,at least I don’t need the heating on!

Would love to get some NMS explorations done with you my CCDP 🧚‍♀️🥰

Tim_McTuffty OP , 1 day ago

@lunaticatlarge @actuallyautistic Well I’m more in the middle, a lot of the older stuff from the ‘60s I remember from re-runs, but still funny as owt !
