There are weeks when I don't go out of the house from Thursday night till I leave on Monday asscrackofdawn.

I don't care what the expectation might be from the neighbors in our small town. They get too cozy and I WILL run that rainbow flag up next to the devil worshipping star! (its a joke)

I think that everyone should have that "recharge" time - neurodiverse or not

That being said, there must be a cup of coffee when we are in Nashvegas at the end of the month!
Absolutely, what days are you all here?

Thank you for saying that about recharge time, I feel bad about what a recluse I can be. Some days, all I can manage is work....like today. BUt I have lunch with a friend and dinner with another and I have no idea how I am going to do it. I am in a complete fog and have a gianr headache.

And I mean MAJOR. There is a time for everything, and she seemed to jump out just when it was not the right time.


I am picturing Mrs. Kravitz on Bewitched! I totally get that.
