Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 479 , Tuesday 18/02/2025
Tuesday started around 8am, Mrs S had gone into the office so it was a peaceful day.
I spent the vast majority of the day listening to my Audibook - I did my chores of course but really could not get into anything else.
The new speaker is working a treat! It’s small enough (about the size of a box of Aftereights) to be easily moved around & the sound quality is excellent - certainly for the audiobooks.
We had yet another energy saving session this evening - it was 5pm to 6pm so I was pretty much on my own for it.
Alice has been in a very cuddly sort of mood today, she has come over & begged for a snuggle 4 or 5 times today, which is a lot for her. I think that she might be feeling a little insecure as there is a new tom in the area that has been harassing Alice & Sophie. Sophie just yells at him but it seems Alice needs some extra TLC, which is fine , she purrs like a hose full of cats & while she only wants cuddling for a few minutes each time she really seems to enjoy it.
We had a Melton Mowbray pork pie with salad for tea - I am fast becoming sick of this as a meal, it’s totally out of season & while it made a change the first time we had it, when the weather was a little warmer it’s getting to the stage where I’m going to feed it to Mrs S & have beans on toast myself!
It wouldn’t be so bad if Mrs S didn’t get the same pre-prepared salad bowl (only one between the 2 of us, (heaven forbid we splash out on 2!) which means I have to try & divide the constituent parts equally between us - a definite object lesson in chaos theory & entropy!
20:00 Ugh, my tinnitus is screaming in my ears & Mrs S has gone up to read her book & left me on my own as usual, I get a whole 2 hours of her company of an evening & that’s it.
I might go to bed & listen to some more of my book.
Final Thoughts.
Next therapy session with Sami tomorrow, not sure if I’m in the right frame of mind for it though!
Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you!
