Checking in, still sober 
Made it through the work week. Got my exercise in today going to head to the store for food to make a very belated thanksgiving meal 
Had to work during it so I figured now will work, plus it feels like a good time to give thanks 
Sending strength and well wishes your way

I’m so sorry @050Nl! Anniversaries of deaths are hard for me too. I lost my dad on New Years Eve and every year I would drown myself in alcohol and drugs. This was the 1st year without anything and I had to feel all those emotions. Be kind to yourself and cuddle up with Nala. Sending you big hugs!

Had a nice day at work,no stress or drama,…not hundred percent,my hands are niggling me a bit, joints achey,(I mostly use hands and fingers and shoulders constantly to do my job)…was planning on going to cinema by myself tonight ,no kids,but was fully booked for film I wanted to see (Parasite),so I went to shop to find a DVD and munchies, prawn crackers and chocolate!..got Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,so it got to just under an hour and the dvd player decided to not play dvds anymore,oh well,so to bed. Booked another yoga class tomorrow afternoon…not that tired as I usually would be…so maybe no vitamins tomorrow and less coffee and tea.

Sucks losing a bike is no fun. Replacement or not, that sucks. Good luck on the new bike search.
Congratulations on 200 days by the time you read this. Great job my friend!!!

You asked me in the other thread whether SSRI medication is impacted by a diagnosis of autism. I’m no neurologist, but it’s my understanding that neurotransmitter creation, release, and reputake has nothing to do with autism. I was diagnosed as an adult and it helped me understand myself and how I interact with the world. I view my autism as a kind of superpower—I can cut through bullshit that a lot of neurotypicals get caught up in, I can process things like facts and figures much faster than most of my colleagues, I am often the first to react to immediate input, such as a phone ringing or a knock at the door, I can hyperfocus and work extremely efficiently under the right conditions, etc. That’s not to say that I don’t have my struggles: I’ve been called rude, I tend to dominate conversations unintentionally, I struggle with spatial reasoning and get lost easily, and I have spent most of my life feeling that everyone else is playing by a different set of social rules than I am. I do not understand or easily play along with common social scripts, such as being sad about celebrity deaths, participating in small talk, or holding back when someone asks me a question such as “how are you?”. I don’t detect deceit very easily, and when I try to make jokes it usually doesn’t go well.

Day 221. Sitting down for the first time today. Been a busy one, but definitely not complaining. Picked up the new Call of Duty on the cheap today, so I imagine I’ll be diving into that tonight.
Have a strong day!!!

All the lifting is probably tiring you. Get some recovery time in there. Congratulations on 55 days!!!

Thank you! Thinking it’s cause I’m not active enough lately.
I also own a tax business so I’ve been sitting a lot lately.
