Slightly concerned that the next week is going to destroy me but I'm going to do my best to balance all the peopling with special interests and alone time.

Saturday - @RepairCafe_Barry followed by Hypno Café.

Sunday - hopefully a walk.

Monday, Tuesday - work.

Wednesday - work, bake a birthday cake, community pantry.

Thursday - entire day of top secret birthday fun I've organised for my BFF.

Friday - collapse in a heap.

I am so bad at weekends and now my work week is settling into a routine thanks to my VA, the weekend issue is getting worse.

Like I desperately need every day to be the same or for "different" days to be planned well in advance so I know what to expect when they arrive. And I have no idea how to do that with weekends because they involve other people and weather and stuff I can't control.

@alexisbushnell @actuallyautistic Oof yes, this is a biggie for me. The relief and relaxation of weekday routines means weekends, especially Saturdays, are mega stressful.

I would really like a solution to this. It’s quite a high priority for similar reasons to you - it involves other people.

All I know how to do now is to ask about the weekend (especially Saturday) plans the day before. But even then, anything could happen.

I try to keep my own thread of something I do every day to I feel like every day is similar - but right now that’s uni work, and that’s all going to end at the end of this month! Trying to plan my next short/medium-term projects so so can continue, but doubt I’ll be as consistent.

I finished reading Turtles All The Way Down by John Green and how I wish I'd had that book as a kid. Such an honest account of mental illness, you can tell it's written by someone who actually gets it.
