Reading about "aspie girls" (written by women with aspergers) and realizing that most of the descriptions are... oddly relatable? I mean I'm not a girl, but I was socialized as one. Idk... I didn't think I was on the spectrum but a lot of this is really relatable, and I know autism often manifests differently in women.

At my cousin's wedding today. So far I'm holding up alright among the heterosexuals. Here's some pictures of me today.

Eye contact included.

My Kindle library is all books on codependency, managing anxiety, and horror written by queer authors. :P ✨

Ughhhh it's raining and I'm alone in my apartment~ who wants to hold this *slightly spooped out* I MEAN TUFF enby?

It's been a lovely night of relaxation and self-reflection. Goodnight, everyone!

Tonight is a Self-care & Self-growth night:

I'm playing one (1) day of SV, then doing one (1) unit of self-growth-something: ie yoga poses, reading a chapter in my codependency book, journalling for 10 min, or spending 10 min researching my informational interviews.

I play Stardew Valley like I handle real life: I get extremely distracted, I waste time, and I forget where I parked my horse

A storm is starting to brew.

Because I have Tues/Thurs afternoons off next week, and can try out "that exciting new stretch class" then instead, I'm giving myself permission to stay home (& warm & dry) tonight.

I might do some yoga before bed, but letting myself relax and not drive in the rain is going to be really nice.

My Saga, in summary:

Day 1: IRS asked for my credit card account #, I accidentally entered the card number, they froze my acct for 24 hours

Days 2 and 3: IRS website experiencing "technical difficulties"

Day 4: Enter my credit card ACCOUNT #, told it didn't match records, account frozen for another 24 hours

WTFFFFF

Sure wish the IRS's website was even marginally usable.

Still can't access last year's tax return and I kinda need it to file this year. D:

Anyway, I've had a nice and relaxing, low-key week. It's my Spring Break (for the elementary school I work at) and one kid is out of town, so I've only had to work a few hours this week.

I've been spending the time organizing my junk, playing Stardew, and continuing to try and cook keto meals. I went hiking with a friend on Tuesday, and I'm looking forward to more friend things this weekend.

Note: I do glance at the awoo.space screen at least once a day, but it's usually indecipherable memes, so I go on my way.

How are people doing? I only log on a few times a week now, so I feel really out of the loop. I hope all is well~

The downside to getting healthier (diet)/getting in shape is that when I don't 100% live up to my new expectations, I feel like a total failure.

It's part of being a perfectionist and learning to appreciate that "good" is more achievable and ultimately worthwhile than "perfect", but it's a challenge.

For a wedding. Which one should I wear? I'm going to be wearing sandles, a black top, and a white lacy vest-thing.
