This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

    A tornado touched down nearish here. Tornados are not allowed here, that’s illegal or something. We get hurricanes, not tornados! Fucking hell.

    The tomato plants probably survived. Some of them. The transplanted basil is thriving, the mint is thriving, the dill is doing well.

    I made pizza again at home. My oven can get up to at least 500F so that’s cool. I want to try different doughs. This one was nice and made a very veery thin crust which was cool.

        Luckily the tornado did not turn into a tomato tornado. I think. Where it touched down doesn’t have a tomato farm, last I knew!

    Back from Germany after a week long business trip. The combination of: being in a non-English setting, being around people much richer than I’ll ever be, being forced to socialize with coworkers, traveling, and jet lag = I am suuuuuuuper exhausted.

    I felt an anxiety that would not go away for the longest time, and I can only describe it as consistent heartburn that my mind’s eye continually extrapolates into “does this mean your heart’s going to explode??” and felt extremities go numb. Even though my heart rate was near resting, I just felt like I was gonna collapse, and no amount of resting in bed made it stop.

    …also I recently switched (at my therapist’s curiosity) from Lexapro to Prozac, and I don’t think the Prozac’s been working as well, which is a shame because I’m pretty sure some of my weight loss can be attributed to dropping Lexapro. C’est la vie.

    Anyways, back home to my spouse and cats. Time to veg it up.

    Oh yeah also my Reddit account of 18+ years (under the username /u/doug) was permanently banned lol and failed to appeal, so I deleted it. The comment that got me banned was saying something like “he should shut the rest of his body down too” in regards to a video of Trump falling asleep. I’m barely paraphrasing, but it was banned for encouraging violence. My bad.

        Ooh, I’ll ask about that one, thanks for the tip!

        Also I don’t have dreams/I tend to just black out and wake up (though I’m sure I dream and just don’t remember them, I seem to really not remember them; supposedly related to my alexithmya), so I’ll take any dreams over none.
