Simple Tasks becoming Herculean

Why is it that a simple case of driving somewhere different is such a Herculean demand for me?

I got my ears dewaxed, this afternoon, and went to a shop on the main Antrim to Ballymena road to buy water. My plans to buy diesel there were thwarted as I was on the wrong side for my nozzle, and the shop is strictly one way. But I did find a parking spot.

Then, when entering the main road, two tourists with Caravans disrupted the flow of traffic. I ended up at a stop zone. But, then, I did get back on the main road. Finding the turn off to get back to Toome.

After that, I had to swerve on a downhill road to avoid traffic cones. All while Radio X was playing Helter Skelter during the 'Best of British' hour. I did get a filling station, for diesel, but it was such a tight squeeze to get on the same side as my nozzle.

Now I'm home, and have diarrhoea. Stress, and on the spot eating. I won't be at the Ardboe game this evening.

I mention Autism, but it was primarily about my search for work.

Now it's simply a labour of love.

So the day ended pleasantly and productively after an iffy start, that's good. :-) Is your blog about being autistic, or life in general? Not that the two can be disentangled anyway, maybe a silly distinction to make.

Yes, I mentioned Helter Skelter being played due to the Ironic Synchronicity. It's as if God has a sense of humour.

I avoided heading out, again, this evening. And I added a new entry to my Blog; first one in over four months.

Sounds like one of those days when everything was set up to test your patience and then sensory overload did the rest. Hope you're feeling a bit better now. I love how ambiguous your mention of the radio was- was it a negative or merely an ironic synchronicity that that song was playing? I'm going with the latter as I suppose you'd have turned down any track that was getting on your nerves.

On the spot eating - I do that way too often as well. In my tiny kitchen. When the table is just a few steps away. Silly but apparently just something I skew towards.
