As I get older, I appreciate the comforts of home more and more. My desire for wild adventure is calmed down. I really like relaxing, watching TV, and doing fun computer stuff. I don’t really like going out and about much anymore. I think it is because I don’t own a car so going places is an exercise in challenges.

I find I need the time to recharge and relax. It’s tiring and challenging having to work at passing for neurotypical. When I am home, I am free to be me. I like that sense of freedom. I don’t know that I am introverted but I’m definitely exhausted by too much stimulation. I had a lot of it the past two days.

Alas I do not expect that things will get easier. It looks like they might get harder. But at least autumn is around the corner. We’re getting into my favorite time of year. I love from Halloween to Thanksgiving. I don’t like the Christmas and New Year’s season. It’s wrought with too much sadness and disappointment.

At least times have been better because I have a wonderful woman in my life. I need to start thinking about saving for our wedding. We need to make some plans.
