April 2019 — Dailyo Mood Chart Stats

I use this great diary & mood-tracking app... It was quite a good idea, actually, to help me with my ASD 🤔 https://www.daylio.net Well, I’d probably say the graph says it all, how my last month went. Seeing it like this, though, is a bit of an eye opener. It’s really no wonder I am …

Applying My Mind

I finally have something constructive to do for someone else – work, if you like. Unpaid and a volunteer role. One that is fun and somewhat challenging, so I'm pretty happy about it. I have offered to help a friend – my best friend – with her (first of many, hopefully) application for a new job. …

New Ventures

Writing Tools & Adaptation

My preference in writing has always been typing. My tool of choice has been laptops since I first got my hands on one about 15 years ago when I was finally given one for college, and I've never been a big fan of handwriting, since it ends up hurting my stupidly weak wrists. Even as …

Knowing Me; Knowing Them

So, after thinking a little bit more about the whole "write what you know" thing that everyone will always quote at you if you want to write, I got to thinking about what I really did know. And I came to realise that one thing I had been trying to write about I did not …
