I'm at the airport and I'm not joking, one lady's personal item is a disco ball...

Me: I'll make food for one (1) person.

Brain: Ok! Food for one family!

Being diagnosed with autism as an adult is strange. Part of me is glad to understand myself, part of me feels like it doesn't really make a difference.

You know, starting a fire in the kitchen used to just be the thing you had to do to use your stove. Now it's all like, "Oh no! What have you done! Put out that fire!" Yeesh. 🙄🔥

One time I mentioned Nobuo Uematsu in conversation and I swear the guy I was talking to had little cartoon hearts appear above his head. 😁 Never underestimate nerd value!

Me: YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!

The girl at the burrito place just put raw onions on my order when I didn't ask for them. However, she also gave me chips for free, so I forgive her.

If I call my own child a b*stard (which I didn't, just to be clear), is that more insulting to him or to me?
🤔

I wish I was an octopus.

In other news, my husband is back from his trip and I'm hugging him with all of my limbs.

Trying to explain to my almost 13yo that it isn't "self-defense" when he body throws his 6yo brother. You know, since he's twice his size...

Maybe more people need to be taught this principle as well.

I'm not saying that I can't get by without my partner. I'm just saying that I really don't like it when he's away.

Look, I can either get stuff done around the house or I can write. I can't do both.

Organize. Collaborate. Find others doing the good work. Study about others who lived through this. Build. Commune. Give. Communicate. Avoid purity tests, practice acceptance. Listen. Speak up. Stand with the vulnerable, call out the powerful. Take risks. Sacrifice.

Listening to my 6yo chanting, "Brains! Brains! Brains!"

Drunk Callie will tell you information you did not need to know. You don't even need to ask. It's a free service!

My friend texted me for spoilers about my book because her current health can't handle high blood pressure. 😆

Maybe a story about abandonment and social persecution isn't a great choice for her at the moment...

I need to know if there's a better name for people who like Jesus but definitely don't want to be associated with Christians.

Happy Lunar New Year, for those of you who believe in the moon! 🌙

My daughter asked why ANYONE would vote for someone like Trump. It was actually an interesting exercise to try and explain to a child, especially when I'm baffled myself.

In the end, I told her that some people vote for what they hope, not what they see (or refuse to see).

Did I hit my word count goal for the day?
No.
Was I productive in other ways?
Also no.

Funny quotes from my half-asleep son last night:
"Haha! It's a pancake house!"
"Wait! I don't have a bed!"
"Why is my hand moving so slow?"
None of these had follow-up or contextual clues. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm constantly swinging between wanting to fix everything and wanting to just be that weird lady down the street who might be a witch.
