I have had about four hours of sleep. I have a house guest that is a slob. I have had to clean my coffee table four times now and put back in it's place. And vacuum things up twice. I love my friend but I'm starting to have meltdowns. I'm trying to hide them which I know just makes things worse.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Dropped my new car off at the body shop because my neighbor decided to hit it while trying to park. The rental car is tiny and smells like someone smoked in it. I'm telling myself "it's only for 10 days" but I really hope they get done with it early.
