Happy birthday to you if it is your birthday! And if it is not then happy unbirthday!

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.

Momma always told me the unbirthday was halfway in the year from whenever your birthday is. But I was always bad with the math and only vaguely knew ours was spring...ish.

I go get an ultrasound today, fun times. And my appointment to see what's growing on my jaw is still good, at least according to the texts alerts.

Mother's cat was here for medicating, and this includes give her snackies after each medication. I put them on a saucer. That saucer was still on the bed. That saucer fell off the bed and hit the heating vent grate on the way down. Scared me so badly. It scares me every time. It is my fault, the plate should be stored on the floor when the cat is here, or put away.

Oh no I hope none of the food went down the vent!

No snackies were left on the plate, it was empty! I just hadn't moved the plate back to the kitchen for washing yet. Also the vent is in the wall not the floor so getting food to go into it would be difficult. Not impossible though!
