Good morning here. Good afternoon there. And Goodnight over there.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

My random variation in sleep schedule is hitting again. I'm now going to bed at 6 am. Even if it's far from the first time I've still no clue if sleeping during day is better or worse than during night. Both have pro and cons

Pretty pic! Here it's been a grey day and feels like flu is coming. I've again ended up overwhelming myself with work. I wish I had better understanding and tools to cope with it. It seems like I only realize it myself when the situation is already pretty bad. :( but good news is that my SO got once again clean results from post-cancer screening!

Ugh I hate the flu. Hopefully it's just a false alarm. Yay! On her cancer screening though!

had a little fight with my friend cause I forgot that programming interviews had programming problems to solve, so I didn't mention it while trying to help for the interview
