AKA how many times can I practice saying "hello?"
My microwave broke, and I learned a lesson about the ingredient of time in any art.
This is a continuation of the last episode.
Now that more people are working from home and discovering that "home all the time" life, I feel crowded.
The tasks that seem fun in the morning are very different than the ones that seem fun at night. Seems I need to master my arc.

I'm doing something I've never done before, and it requires putting myself out there. SIGH.

Truth be told, I like fidget cubes much better than fidget spinners (and I like other toys, materials, and stim activities more than I like either of those things). But still: Don’t ban them just because the neurotypical public may have “ruined” them and made them annoying for everyone. Many autistic and ADHD people like myself use them and rely on stimming activities or toys to relieve anxiety and pent up emotion! Patreon family! (http://bit.ly/ctpatreon
