   The land of OZ just isn’t the same without you. 🙂

   I am leaving the house tonight and going to unknown territory and out for dinner with some kinder mum’s. It is a very scary thought. I am literally petrified as I have only had half a conversation with one of these mum’s in the full year my sons attended there.

   See you in a week or so 😀

   wow, I’m state hopping on a familiar topic
   you’re touring the burbs on an unfamiliar one
   I’ll take my version 😉
   brave warrior
   I’m sure you’ll have Rescue Remedy back home
   remember the only person you actually have to like
   is you.

   I don’t think I’ll leave the house again. Last night was just awful. I should never give in to moments of being put on the spot. I need to get myself some Rescue Remedy!

   Just think one more week and you will be back with the guys at band practice preparing for the gig in Feb.

   so was it the social chit chat which feels like blah eating precious headspace for no logical reason?
   was it the presumed shared titter titter stuff which seems without purpose yet rife with pressure to perform shared amusement?
   was it the probing into private realities for entertainment purpose which others presume all not only want but equally find amusing and part of shared ‘trust’ in ‘girl circles’?
   was it that plasticine (get me the shit out of here) monkey grimace others take for a smile that you can’t wait to wash off?

   I definitely think you need to stick to autism-friendly circles.
   I think if you’re gonna hang out with non-spectrum women, at least ensure they’re autism-friendly and relatively Gadoodleborgonian.

   by the way, yes, lemon water and popcorn will be fine 😉
