Good morning at this moment in my location. I really wish I could eat spicy food. Chili crisp looks so delicious, but I would be bent over with cramps if I touched it.

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.

Good afternoon! I stayed at my friend's last night, can't remember when was the last time that happened, I wish the life was less draining so there would be more time and energy for friends. Anyway we went to a local shopping mall after breakfast to get lebanese bread and baklava and then from another middle-eastern store I got hummus and spices. I love how that shopping mall was just middle-eastern shops, place was vivid! On my way to train I grabbed a sub, but the thing was wrapped badly and fell apart when I tried to eat it and my hands smelled of sub for the whole way back. Someone was sitting next to me so I didn't want to bother them to go to the toilet to wash up and just tried to manage with hand disinfectant, which obviously didn't help. :')
