Hoping to work out in the yard today. After a nap. 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.

Went to the gym. I've decided to work my way up to running a 5k in preparation for softball season. And to just generally improve my cardio. I've been a lot more active this year -- I'm doing two karate classes per week -- and cardio is starting to become a limiting factor. Which is all to say, my legs are tired.

I finished taking apart my rabbit cage today. It's been about 9 months since my last li'l bun passed away, and the cage was never totally cleaned after she died. The fur, the old hay dust, and the various other detritus had started to make the space... itchy. So, it was time. In the process, I decided to clear out half of the room and make the space a little more functional. My fiancee suggested moving my office down there, and I was really surprised to find that I didn't have any negative feelings about that.

It would be a cozier space to work in. And warmer. And I've started to set up a new stereo/AV system down there.
