scale of -10 to +10, how do you feel right now?

Slightly tipsy - but at the beginning, I realized, that I´m never sure whether I am wanted anywhere ....maybe, i´m not....I don´t know. Better stick to myself.

what's got you down, sly?

-7 Very sore throat for the past week or so on top of everything else. I strongly suspect it’s due to post-nasal drip, probably due to allergies. But it’s just making me feel even more miserable. It hurts to swallow even with Tylenol (can’t take Ibuprofen right now because of my surgery tomorrow), it’s making it hard to eat or drink. It’s really horrible.

9. A song by Michael Jackson just came on the radio.

Before it was 8. Drinking iced coffee. Went on a long walk with funny one as he always wants to see AC units around the neighbourhood, even just from a distance, and he did not disobey my request to not go touch them. Except for a couple of times.

when i was a teenager. i used to think my parents were overbearing.


hoo boy i had no idea what that really meant.

the older and more independent i get, the more i realize they did well.

like damn, have you done this before??

Sorry you’re feeling pain, Tia.

At a typical 7.

I am thinking of what to say to a job coach who specializes in helping people on the spectrum find work.

9 After growing more & more concerned at remaining totally without hearing, did some research, ordered a surgeon-developed treatment, and now have hearing restored in my left ear. A major breakthrough and it showed the severity of the eustacean tube issue/infection. Still working on the right ear, but feel over the moon that after almost 2 months, I can now actually hear the ocean, birds, and MUSIC ! If I’d listened to my Doc, I’d have remained totally deaf for potentially many more months, so am incredibly grateful for the internet age we’re living in.

-2, maybe? Still sleepy, exhausted (yes, those are two different things to me), and in pain, but since my throat has been really hurting for the past few days (post-nasal drip most likely due to seasonal allergies, then the lymph node biopsy I had yesterday), I’ve been using texting and a text-to-speech app on my phone instead of actually talking, and oh my gosh, it is so much easier for me to communicate that way. I’m debating just keeping it up even after my throat feels better. So, would probably have been a -7 because of how crummy I’m feeling, but got boosted up by realizing that typing/writing really is the best mode of communication for me, and that it takes nowhere near as much mental effort. Only problem is timing, other people have to wait for me to type and will keep talking in the meantime, so the conversation will get ahead of me... but then again, that wouldn’t be much of a change for me, since I spend so much time in conversations waiting for even a slight break so I can say something and having it not come until after multiple subject changes anyway. And I can turn the volume up on my phone so people can’t talk over me as readily, and repeating myself is simply the touch of a button if people don’t catch it the first time anyway.
