Sounds Like Science Fiction To Me

Sharing a picnic table with a senior at the park yesterday, he asked me what I was doing on my "gadget".

Me: "Reading the newspaper."

Him: "You seem to be forgetting the paper part."

Me: "Indeed I am, but it's really quite convenient."

Him: "Sounds like science fiction to me."

Me: "I still find it amazing, the things these phones can do."

Him: "If it's so advanced, why does the glass crack?"

You win this time, old man in the park.

THIS MAKES ME MAD.

This makes me mad.

AUTISM isn't on board. A PERSON affected by autism is on board.

It's a small distinction but one that is very, very important to make.

Badass Cats Wear Top Hats

Me: If MoMo (the cat) could wear a hat, what kind of hat do you think she'd choose?

Him: *blank stare*

Me: Really, I'm serious. Would she be a tiara kind of gal, top hat, baseball cap, fedora....? Please, really, I'm researching.

Him: What kind of job do you have again?

Me: She'd wear a top hat, I'm sure of it. Only the most badass of cats could pull off a top hat.

Him: *blank stare*

Me: You don't get me at all, do you?

Yesterday, I did a deadlift for the first time. 90 lbs, 3 sets of 12 reps. Holy moly, my legs and arms are jello-y today, good thing it's an off day!

At another point yesterday, I helped someone across the country in Vancouver find a shelter spot and clothing AND helped a person in another part of Ontario get some food delivered to their house.

All this, and I can't get a job interview at Tim Hortons. Go figure.
