I worked from 3pm to 5am this morning. And now I am going to get on my daily morning meeting. Then I will have a morning beer and go to bed. It's the upside down y'all.

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.

I've gotten back into cross-stitch. It's a lovely, cheap hobby. Once you're set up with hoops, scissors and needles, the only recurring cost is floss (~60¢ aka 0.60USD each) and cloth/AIDA. Cost per hour spent is very low and you end up with a hangable or giftable object. It keeps my handiwork brain busy while I focus on something else, or try and de-stress from everything else. I'm currently stitching on a medieval cat snail pattern I got off of etsy.. I'm excited to use the gold thread--it's so shiny and I've never worked with it before.
