Got Anything Random To Say

I enjoy thinking about food and different cultures.

My fridge is ready to be replenished. All that will be left after I have my tea tonight will be a pint of milk and a cob of cheese.

I just made my shopping list. I'll have my fridge full in no time.

My body with its messy health doesn't do 100F, 37C, as well as it used to.
From the National Weather Service ...
That 105F heat index equals about 40C ...

Google says that 108 F is 42 C.

"Heat index values up to 108 expected."

It again feels quite a bit cooler than 10 C. Maybe I'm just getting old. I have socks on after all. God help me, slippers are next aren't they? Maybe I have anemia.

Still can't smell anything, but that's more of a funny curiosity than anything else. I couldn't smell that well anyway.

We are going for a long drive today.

Sometimes you've gotta be cruel to be kind.

God them chicken meatballs smell amazing.

Today my mother told me all about how she really hurt her toe the day before and was pretty descriptive about the bruising and discoloration, and I cringed and winced almost as if I could feel it myself. Is that like, empathy? Which we're *not* supposed to feel?

lostonearth35, yeah, that one is a type of empathy. The supposed lack of empathy and autism was one of those really terrible observations based on the inability to read nonverbal cues and/or being unable to show it at the time in an outward manner in those with such. They apparently forgot to ask said people how they felt at the time and later on when less distracted in a manner which allowed them to express themselves. Those with comorbid alexithymia will have more trouble with it, but that'll be the same whether those with such have autism or not. Autism on its own doesn't seem to cause a lack of empathy anyway.

I probably have too much empathy, even if I can't always show it (which will be my random).

nick007, yeah. That'd probably be evident in social interactions and would give others a view that there's a lack of empathy, but using thoughts rather than feelings to help in response to feelings is still empathy all the same.

I'm really dumb. Like, dumb as dumb can get. A rock will have it over me in a game of chess. The reason why it felt so cold last night was simply due to the fact I had my window open a little without realizing it. Open just enough so you can't feel the incoming cold air in the form of a breeze, but it's still incoming. How...not embarrassing, because that makes perfect sense for me. About the same temperature tonight, but it's not bad at all. Oh, I guess I can rule out anemia now (cognitive impairment, not so much).
