TL:DR Meh still rules , but in the face of todays video meeting I was forced to tidy my desk! ; Official Diagnosis process has well & truly started! ; Besties Rock! ; Mastodonians Rock !
Busy day today, once I actually dug myself out of my pit, which I really didn’t want to do!
On the plus side the house was quiet as Mrs Squirrel was in the office !
Phase 1 of a major desk tidy revealed that there was actually a desk under all the junk after all !
Phase 2 will be going thru all the aforementioned junk & either bining it or putting it away.
Also moved & re-cabled my docking station so that it stopped looking like I had spilt a can of oversized spaghetti on the floor!
I chatted with my Bestie for a decent chunk of the desk tidying process , which was really nice 😊
She told me some exciting news she had received & I was so very pleased for her !
Thus we arrived at the key point if todays story, ASD Pre-assessment appointment 1.
The lass I’m dealing with at this stage ,Abbie, was very nice to deal with & put me at my ease, event though I was initially deeply uncomfortable with the whole idea of the video call freaked me out no end!
The hour long call seemed to take for ever , but it was finally over & the stage is set for next weeks session.
This evening has been taken up with trying to catch up on Mastodon, a near impossible task this late in the day when I have to be in bed & asleep by 10pm at the latest.
Final Thoughts:
I’m still recovering from the discovery that, for whatever reason, my Dad appears to know sod all about me. It’s gonna be a slow process to come to terms with this I think.
It always brightens my day when folks I know get good & unexpected news , for it to be my Bestie was just the icing on the cake! 😊
My ‘official’ journey to a diagnosis has begun properly today, it is both a pleasing & a daunting realisation!
One of the questions was “What do you want out of this ?” ultimately my answer was I’m not sure, I have never been well , thus I don’t know what that ‘looks’ like . If it’s even possible !
Mastodonians rock ! Love you guys, even if I can’t keep up with events as much as I would like at the moment!
Thanks to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you ! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖
