    Had a great time at Thornbury Witch’s xmas event. My first time meeting anyone from the DT (including from the Reddit days) and it was so nice for this little corner of the internet to come to real life in the way it did.

    Merry Christmas to you all! I worked up until Xmas Eve, we did a deep clean of the factory for end of year. My feet were throbbing and my biceps were burning! Then yesterday went shopping for the last minute stuff, wrapped gifts, prepped food, made cheesecake. This morning we did the presents, I cooked lunch, ate cheesecake and then bailed on going out to rellys this afternoon in favour of a couple of hours sleep! Must’ve needed it. My kids and ExMrP saw the effort I made and they all thanked me privately and individually for making Christmas. I did it! I know a few days ago I was stressing about my workload (you guys were really supportive 🥹😘) but once I vented and got over my own performance anxiety I fucking rocked it 😎 And then crashed lol.

      It’s great to hear you were able to pull off Christmas so well and that everyone noticed. It’s the little acknowledgements like that which make all the difference

      I love that your efforts were acknowledged, you are such an amazing person for pulling that off, but also knowing you needed some time out. Merry Christmas, Peeler, you’re so great!!

    As far as I know I’m not autistic. But I imagine it would feel like when you walk into a chemist warehouse and they have those TVs playing at the end of every isle and they’re all playing the same thing slightly out of sync. They all have volume on as well so you don’t know which one to focus on and it adds so much aural clutter to an already visually busy store.

      Nah, that’s adhd. Asd is like a monitor on the wrong frequency and it follows you everywhere and you can never stop noticing it. Also no one else can hear it and they don’t get why you’re losing it.

    My kids are obsessed with intergalactic by the Beastie boys so the present from their great grandfather was a collectible action figure set of the robot and the octopus. It was great to hear them say it was their favourite present when they opened it

    Merry Christmas everyone. I’m currently at a chemist warehouse getting drugs because one of the kids seems to be a bit sick. Typical Christmas stuff now I’m a parent. Everyone enjoy yourselves today whatever you do

    Food and presents were a hit. All the other people were really nice other than a few of the usual bad’uns. I ignored those ones mostly.

    All the kids are growing up so much and are good kids. 🙂

    Everyone was surprised I brought a huge trifle. It seems the cousin called husband to tell me to bring dessert and make trifle ( only because he likes my trifle.) Dessert had already been organised. I made trifle for 20 people. Cousin thought it was funny. I’m pissed at him but happy other people had some and liked it. There was still 3/4 left.

    I made a new friend in the new doggo. 🙂
