The most excited I've ever been

I'm done with Christmas Cards

Just musing on this (fairly short) list, all to do with anticipating (i.e. the few weeks before):

  • As a teenager, getting my first 125cc motorbike to replace my 50cc one
  • Xmas as a child when I knew I was getting electronic components or radio equipment
  • Getting my first digital watch when I was 9, and ringing "8081" to set the time to the nearest second!
  • Coming home from school to my *stereo FM* radio alarm clock
  • Starting grammar school (it wasn't really, but used to be and pretended it still was)
  • Maths lessons and physics lessons at school - especially doubles periods!
  • My car license test as a teenager
  • My degree results as a young adult
  • Moving house in my 20s & 30s
  • My motorbike test as an adult
  • Buying motorbike related stuff
  • Buying radio equipment
  • Buying camera equipment
  • My clinical interview for ASD in Feb 2019
  • My ADOS test in a couple of weeks' time

  • I get excited about things. Sometimes small stuff. Life's not always sunshine and roses, but I find happiness in things.

    I like getting new equipment, plug-in's and the like. New watches always excite me. Got a 5000m waterproof watch, filled with oil recently. I'll never go that deep, but I like my watches to have something different. Wanted one of those since I found out they existed. The wait was exciting.

    I look forward to winter, cool and dark. Agrees with my senses.

    I look forward to seeing certain people too.

    An evening with a "happy ending" is always nice to look forward to also.
