I had a hard time getting out of bed today. The weather is very cloudy and I am feeling burnout from my regular routines.
I now own an Xbox Series X and it is a beast. I know, I am late to this party.

Great, let us know what games you enjoy playing. Congrats on paying off your debit. That makes this Xbox more worthwhile. Shows your power and follow thru. I always believe in bribes to get those horrible things done in life. I have my favorites. Special coffee, a new purse, buying something for my guy.

Interesting reading the specifications of the XBox and PS5. They're certainly getting powerful for console systems.
Someone reached out to me on a whim that I hadn't interacted with in over a year. Surprised they remembered me at all. Also found out we're the same age and could relate to each other's rocky school experiences. Fun.
Lately my groups have been flaking with no shows except me and the leaders or cancelling all together. I am getting tired of it. Only the old people older than me seem to be commented to bother to show at yoga at least up but it's frustrated that the younger people don't care to commit to groups anymore.

You have to accept that people's lives can get busy. Especially when work and family can so easily alter their intended schedules compared to those who aren't employed or are retired.
So, I spilled a smoothie all over myself, and am now going to take a bath. I hate being sticky.

I would do the same. Sticky is very icky.

Yuck. Just had a fancy coffee smoothie this morning. So happy.
My therapist gave me her thoughts about my “root chakra” being a source for my struggles.

Things like feelings of abandonment, cravings/desires, anxiety, and bowel troubles have been associated with the root chakra.

What's a 'root chakra'?
How useful to you is framing the concept with this term?

Mark you really should try signing up for a yoga class.
I got a talking to at work from the supervisor yesterday.

I had a lapse in mindfulness and checked in an item that was damaged. The supervisor was not happy about that.

So the supervisor was mainly pointing out correct procedure?

Pretty much. He told me to always ask the assistants or him about any potential concerns.
And I dodged a bullet, as a guy I was talking with online blocks me after I made it clear that I do not have sex on the first date.

You have boundaries. Yes, recovery from abuse is actually boundaries.:)
I am so surprised but really happy for you.

I hope our new phones stay fast for a good long while! :) It's so much easier to post here with my new phone, my last phone sometimes only let me type one word every 2-3 seconds lol!

I held on to my last phone getting the cracked screen fixed three times. Now my current phone is so big. Lol

The screen protector on my old phone had cracked in several places. It only had 32gb (lol! "Only"!) I tried adding extra storage but it didn't seem to help. I hoped to get a couple more years out of it, but it was driving me mad 😸
It's good to know that other adults get diagnosed with autism late. Kinda shows that there's always more to learn about the spectrum.
One of the dogs at the place I am right now might die soon (we found a nasty-looking tumor). I've only known the dogs for a month but I've grown attached, and I'm really sad about it. It's dog paradise here, he surely had a wonderful life, but I am still very sad.
I watched The Accountant tonight. I am floored by how good it is. And the main character Chistopher Wolf, is a High Funtioning Autistic. I personally feel like I could relate to alot of his behaviors and habits.

Saw this a couple nights ago. Enjoyed his flat affect delivery. And the scene of the farm family, him coming up with loop holes for them, was great.

I have to agree. Ben Affleck did a good job with portraying those aspects. In fact, I do feel that the movie in general give a better representation of ASD, since it's not just limited to Christopher Wolf. But shows others with varying severity and behaviors.

Though the father making the choice to expose Christopher to more of what would trigger his Autism, than trying to reduce it, is a interesting approach.
I got my tax refund and paid off my debts. Now I will get a Series X with my next paycheck.
