I am still writing in my journal consistently every day. At this time last year I had stopped writing in my Journal there is one entry from 2024 this week on February 26, and there are some in March and in May.

After that the journal entries in 2024 stopped completely.

Good Monday morning. The weekend was good for me, I did take a very late nap, so last night at 9:17 p I took a walk outside with my son. We walked 2.23 miles. It was a good walk. I did go to sleep but it was around 1 a when I did. I am a little tired still this morning, but I will perk up, especially when I am working. My sister came over yesterday also and we went to Walmart. I got some red ink pens so I can mark up my story I am writing. I could use black like I have now, but I wanted red for some reason. I also made a little picture with a flower with some mini-canvas and some Sharpies I got from Michael’s that are all different colors. Today is a cleaning day. I am going to clean after work. Dan is not cranky today. He said ‘at least not yet,’ that’s what he just told me. Also I got a random message about our 30-year high school reunion. I might go, I don’t know. We will see what happens.

My little flower picture.

So today I am in a little bit of a funk. Years ago, two actually, I got a tax ID number. I was going to use it to buy things I was going to sell, like knit items I make and clothes and stuff, but I never used it to take the tax off stuff, I just paid the tax. Well unbeknownst to me I was supposed to go to their website every four months and basically tell the government that I wasn’t using the tax ID number. Since I did not do that they froze all the accounts associated with me, even the ones that didn’t have my name associated with them. So I had to go online and file all of the times I missed yesterday, then had to pay penalty fees. It was around $700.00, when it was all said and done. This morning the accounts are back but they are not correct. So when I call today I will have to make sure I owe them nothing because the took my sons money. It sucks so much.

After hundreds of millions of people all over the world died, the ones that were left started killing each other. That was in the first few years. After they were gone, the ones who were left faded in to the gray area. That’s what I did, I didn’t try to leave my house, I stayed. I never had to defend my home, because I had started planning once the government started shutting down. I started digging and eventually built an entire self-sustaining bunker that covered the entire lot the house I lived in was built on. I had water and food stored there and I had a secret entrance that only me and my family knew about. It was the perfect set-up and worked out very well.

My 2024 journal that I didn’t write in consistently.

Wednesday February 26, 2025

My money drama of Monday has resolved itself. I’m so glad for that but I am sick now. I don’t know if it was the stress of that situation, but man do I feel like crap. I’m making a hat and it is so pretty. I haven’t written any more of my story, but I have posted a page of it every day since Sunday. This has been helping me because I have been editing each page and re-writing some of them as I go, so when I get to where I left off I have a somewhat super edited story. Now this morning I feel alright and I am going to work and I am glad Harry does not work today. That means I can relax when I get off and I can start to get better. Yesterday I got a subscription box that had a journal in it, I gave it to my mom. She thought that was nice. I noticed with hers she can’t make sense of the dated pages. This one is blank so it is much easier for her to navigate. It also came with a pen.

The hat I finished this week.

The next hat I am currently knitting.

Thursday February 27, 2025

On Tuesday and yesterday I took a nap after work. I hate doing that because then I don’t sleep at night, but I was so tired. I also didn’t clean like I usually do so I will have to do that Saturday. So, while I wrote that I remembered I had laundry in the washer from Monday. I opened the lid and man did they smell. I’m washing them again. There are some storms coming. Not like the figurative ones, literal ones. I mean the weather guy on the news just said storms were in the radar. I love the spring storms they are my favorite besides the occasional pop-up storm in the summer that cools everything down. One year in the hottest part of the Texas summer we went to Washington state and the temperatures were so nice. I think the warmest it got while we were there was 80. It made me wish I could have a summer house. So when it gets so hot here we can go to our summer house and cool off.

I stayed up too late last night, I got hooked on this Netflix show called Apple Cider Vinegar. Yet another person who faked having cancer. This makes three things I have recently listened to or watched where someone has faked having cancer. There have been many times in the past where I have faked being sick so I didn’t have to work, everyone has at some point I would never, ever say I have cancer though. This girl actually had a website and an app with foods that she claimed cured her cancer, but it was not true. There were people following her who really did have cancer and what she was telling them to do was not helping, because she never had cancer. This to me feels like the same mentality as a serial killer. All these people want is recognition and fame. For these people they aren’t intentionally killing anyone, but their actions could cause death. I can’t understand how they could live with themselves.

Saturday March 1, 2025

It is March 1st, we are now three months in to 2025. Lots of things are in my head this morning. The week was an eventful week. The tax office took my money, then I got it back. Then my oldest son shredded all of the papers on my coffee table. So the hard copy of my story and some knitting patterns. At least that’s all I thought, then last night I opened the notebook I was writing in, he ripped out the pages I wrote on and shredded those too. My Journal had all of it’s pages thank god, and my story is saved to my computer so it’s good. The notebook though, that I don’t remember what I wrote in there, so that’s a little annoying. I can just write new things in those pages though. Everything else like my journal is online except this weeks journal, but that he didn’t touch so all good. That my friends, is just a little glimpse of living with autism.

Sunday March 2, 2025

So this week I continued my resolutions for the year. I am still writing my story. I have been walking for 30 minutes, and I have been cleaning after work during the week so I don’t have to clean on the weekends. This week the weather was nice so I walked outside instead of using the walking machine. This week may be different weather wise though so I will probably have to use the walking machine again. Either way I will still be walking. Everything I have done this year has made me feel so much better. It’s amazing what just a few little things can do for your mental health. I am not as sad and depressed as I usually am this time of year and now we just need to get rid of daylight savings time. Or I could just move to Arizona. They don’t have daylight savings time there. So that is all for today. Everyone love yourself and try to make it a great week.

The walking machine making it’s comeback this week.
