Is Groundhog Day science fiction?
Is The Martian not science fiction?

And that one where they torture autistic kids and the one who survives becomes ' The One'.
Is that science fiction?

If I pay attention to my posture RIGHT NOW, I am sitting upright, not leaning on the back of my chair. I may just be really strong, but I don't seem to have trouble with my back and I don't worry about my chair. As long as it doesn't hurt my butt, I'm good.

Can you fix this with exercise and posture?

Ah, I don't know. I have the same issues sometimes.

My pad postures are usually due to being nearsighted and not wearing glasses. And having to look at whatever I'm seeing less than a foot or closer.


Damaged the quilt. Tried to fix it. Got bad. :lol:
Tried again. Got a bit worse. Eh.

That's what I was worried about. I have no doubt that things will show up later, needing my attention, and I'm so bad with paperwork and managing stress... meh. But I do plan to go ahead with it all anyhow. I'm hoping that if I keep every piece of paperwork from every step along the way, that it won't be too overwhelming me to me down the road if and when issues pop up. I think the rewards here outweigh the risks and then some.

'Crucifixion day.' Make a good movie. A heart warming comedy. With a happy ending.

Good thinking. People ask how it could possibly take me a year, but it's because of my lame executive function. Phone calls to government (NOPE), not understanding forms, needing to do the steps in the right order, or not having some paper that you need to get the other paper. Then of course everything bureaucratic takes forever on their end, too. The only difficulty I had after changing back to my maiden name was that I don't match either of my kids. We have three different surnames lol. Flying with either of them when they were under 18 was a pain because I needed to take extra documentation to prove I wasn't a kidnapper (the long-form birth certificate with me listed as mother --another application I had to do --, and then all of my own change of name papers and marriage / divorce / custody papers -- and then written permission from her father to leave the country). In that respect you're very lucky not to have children together.

It's very liberating to get your maiden name back. I remember being so happy to be myself again - even though I loved my other surname and still kind of miss the sound of it.

Wondering how long my fingers will take to heal
The skin feels like dry paper, slightly crinkled
Of course I can't stop
Running my fingertips over my fingertips
I'm autistic like that

Ohhh I do that too. Do you have any petroleum-based gel, like Vaseline?

But it's more fun not to.

This beautiful people doing favors for each other thing kinda pisses me off. Yeah, I want you to succeed, and go ahead and use the favors of the other beautiful people, but this feeling that I've had that you have no use for me? Kinda validated, yes?
