I am an autistic individual who hates phone calls and will obsess and over analyse any written communication. Body language confuses the heck out of me. People say one thing and their body reacting differently. I will also prevaricate before replying, overthinking my reply 🀦.I am my own nightmare.

Cat law is "what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine". With the added amendment that "anything on the planet I chose to be mine is also mine." The only way to try to keep them from important things is to put down cat traps (cardboard boxes). In some circumstances they have been known to work.

This really resonated with me today, I am an at home carer, 24/7 with no outside help. Hence, why this nudged at my brain...

My cat, Arvid, decided that I needed help to do my yoga today. Let's just say his helpfulness was not very helpful 😁, especially in downward facing dog 🀣. It was nice he wanted to be with me though 🀣.

Anything with strawberries 🀒 or anything with milk products in (I'm allergic) and no gluten, makes me super ill.... I am a nightmare 😁. Mostly, I find normal desserts, I like and make them Vegan and GF.

I listen and listen again to books on audible because they are self soothing. It is the voice of the reader and because I know what is going to happen. Not sure if that is my ASD or just me 😊

My spinning project over the last 2 weeks has been spinning up 700g of pink fibre ready for another crochet project. I bought this fibre at Wonderwool Wales this year, at the John Arbon stall.

I am working on the alpaca fleece. I have one fleece carded and put in paper bags. I have started carding the second of the brown fleeces. Now I have 4 bags ready to use. I have test spun a bit. I am overspending it a bit but it is nice to spin, just dusty, even after washing.
