What's going on in your world today?

Depression, as usual.

I spent many horrible hours at Ross and Walmart looking for clothes to wear to an interview tomorrow. Then spent the rest of the day on logisitics - I have to get up at 4:30 to catch a flight for an 8:30 interview. I had MS and BZ to help me find an outfit - otherwise I'd still be at the store.

Got my sundress all packed too because I'm going to hang out at Waikiki Beach after the interview till I have to go back to the airport (at least 2 hours!!). I love Waikiki!! ! Who cares about the job!!

Right now I'm eating a bowl of sweet corn (it was the only thing we had that sounded even remotely tasty) before going to bed. As I sleep, I'll be listening for the phone, as I expect at least two phone calls today, one about a house we're negotiating price on, one from the folks at the place I picked as most likely to be helpful about getting tested for AS for me and my son. Then when I wake up fully, I'll call my OB to find out what time my appointment is on Tuesday, then pack up a couple of sample vials of perfume that I sold and take them to the post office on my way to do grocery shopping with my husband and son.

Then I'll likely come home, waste a few hours while my husband uses the computer, and jump back on here again. Then again, it's a Monday, so who knows? (My husband has Tuesdays and Wednesdays off, so Monday is like Friday to him.)

Have to go to the hospital to have a look-see at what's wrong with my injured shoulder that won't heal. First the radiologist numbs up the shoulder, then he inserts a large needle between the bones into the joint, then he injects dye into the joint, then they take a whole bunch of Xrays. Then I get to go to the MRI department, with the dye in my shoulder, and lie in the coffin-like tube while they spend another half hour taking more pictures. Fun.

Then I have to go to my final class of the semester where we have to give a group presentation over a video feed to the rest of the class members. Also fun.

Think I'll get some vodka on the way home.

Not a lot. My mood has swung into a sort of mild manic phase but I am very sleepy as builders woke me up after only 3 hours sleep. I am trying to get up early enough to see if a letter for an appointment locally for AS assessment has come through to my Gp...I am terrible with these things, putting them off and off. I managed to smash my full length mirror in an attempt to break my appalling OCD issues. I am taking to sleeping on the floor to try and avoid my issues with mattresses... I know that isn't a way to face my problems with it, but I need a break from the OCD. Not much else...hoping the sun will return so I am more inclined to get out and about. Got a computer mic in hopes of recording my singing.

Tomorrow morning I have an appointment with my local Jobcentre (at the moment I'm
'between jobs' ) and I also have to take my car for its annual inspection.
Once I've got these potentially stressful tasks out of the way I'll try to calm down by
doing some reading,watching TV and having a couple of beers later.

Brilliant!

I never did get to Waikiki beach yesterday - the interview was downtown and I tried walking to the beach but got blisters, then just decided just to go straight to the airport. But the good news is that I got the job! Woo hoo!

I've made a new friend on WP.

Me! Woo!

Work again today. So far I've set a pain in the back-side grad student straight, by telling them that they are basically horrible to people - beauty It's not normally like me, but boy did I enjoy it The guy's been a prat for months now and there is only so much this mild-mannered aspie can take (though I didn't turn green )

Sadly my wife has invited some acquaintances to go out with us tonight . I don't know them but I've been told I've got to go, otherwise it would seem weird No weirder than inviting people weeks ago and telling me last night that it was happening - is it me? So it's people I don't know in a noisy restaurant, with our tired & bolshy kids along for the ride, followed by goodness knows how long back at our flat "socialising". This is an Aspie nightmare realised
