 Rant:

My long term disability rep contacts me every 3 weeks. It’s been 3.5 years, bud, I’m *still* not magically cured. Back off. Let me breathe.

It’s so annoying, and frankly distressing, how disabled people are given payments to live on (well below the poverty line) and then followed like a hawk. Imho, it’s unethical. If the federal government has deemed me fully disabled - pay me and leave me the heck alone.

These people cause me immense stress.

 Funny life thing: I’ve been on Pacific time since I was 18… ages ago. Now that I’m on Mountain time, everything is that much more confusing and I didn’t expect it to feel this was. 

Eastern time (and Family) is 2 hours, not 3 hours ahead and I always forget! 

Most irl fiends are an hour behind and I constantly forget that too…

I’ll be fine I’m just pointing this out in the most autistic way possible, I guess… 😆😆 ok bye. 
 My Steam library is like a cozy hug. 

Whenever I look at it, I remember that I can jump into any of these worlds at any time and get lost in new stories and adventures. :)

 When I saw the new #Apple ‘double tap’ feature… my #AuDHD brain was immediately like: Nope, nah, not for me… LOL 

If you know you know…

I fidget so much with my hands I’d be doing all sorts of unwanted commands for my watch all the time. 

Whoops. 😆

 @5c0e3f93 is it any consolidation that I worked for a major bank for 5 years before going off work? 

I felt so slimy. 
 I’m going to attempt to start something fun/silly… 

What’s your #VillainOriginStory? 

I think mine began circa 2007: 

I worked at the Apple Store as a teacher and a customer purchased me an item as a gift because they appreciated my classes. 

Wait for it:

My boss took their money, then after they left they took the item from me, and placed it back on the shelf and said, “we are not allowed to receive gifts.”

Yeahhhhhhh, that actually happened.

 @920f92b8 yes!! I actually watched it for the first time (finally) a few years ago… over several months… and it helped me through a rough patch.

 @f322e947 awe, what a sweet doggo! Thanks for your empathy. It’s definitely a juggling act some days, for sure. 

Thankfully thus far with all her health stuff, she’s been very well managed and stable. Hopefully we can make that continue. 💜

 My cats has been sick lately and they can’t quite pinpoint what’s going on. 

I know, she’s 17 1/2… but I’ll never be ready for ‘that day’. 

It’s been expensive, very expensive, but she’s worth it. She’s stable - just some lab work and symptoms that are unusual. 

She’s been my little everything my entire adult life. We have a special bond. 

We’re going to the vet again tomorrow for more tests — could you please keep my lil Mac in your thoughts? She’s the bestest baby. 

Thanks 💜
