  • Errands

    I spent today running the last of my errands. Mum insists on me to pay her bills, which are technically my brother’s now as it’s only him who lives in the house, but everything is registered on her. It’s not always easy to pay the bills online here and I have the impression that there’s […]

  • Good news

    I collected my ID card today! I am officially a free woman and can go back where my home is. It’s a bit strange that my home is so far from where I was brought up but not much I can do about that. I came to celebrate to a small cafe half way through […]

  • Night watchman and me

    A few days ago, since I’m the only guest in the hostel, I realised there is a night watchman coming at 10pm. Well, realised is probably not the right word as the receptionist told me about him but the way she said that made me think… oh well, it looks like I’m jumping to conclusion. […]

  • Another day…

    Trigger warning: mentions self harm but also talks about nice weather and speaking up. It was another warm and sunny day so I made an effort to spend couple of hours outdoors. It still surprises me how the town changed over the years, since I was in secondary school. We didn’t have McDonald’s at the […]

  • Finally adulting

    That’s a title for the challenge on Redecor: a guy got himself a washing machine and he feels that makes him an adult. I have washing machine and even my own flat for quite a few years already and yet I only feel now that I am really ‘adulting’. My mum can’t help me with […]

  • I feel stranded

    I am hoping to get my ID card tomorrow and I could then have a look at return flights. If I come back on or after 4th of October I won’t need to do covid test before the departure, which seems like a massive relief to me (what if the test centre is closed, the […]

  • Isolation of victim

    A few weeks ago I posted to Tomaszów Facebook group asking if there is anyone there who’s money also got stolen by Mrs J but I didn’t get a sensible response. A man reached out claiming he can help me get the money back and he said that ‘his neighbour is a lawyer’. I decided […]

  • Autistics and sex life

    This post is not going to contain anything that I’d consider an adult content, just general discussion that you can find on TV at any time of the day. So I know that some people are really interested in our sex lives. I’d say we’re not much different than neurotypicals really, however it may be […]

  • Playing games

    What I wanted to talk about here was how I was dealing with anxiety recently: by playing various online games: my favourite was water puzzle, but I also found another version of block puzzles which is a bit easier to play, although I’m still pretty rubbish at it. But what also came to my mind […]

  • Perhaps, perhaps…

    I visited mum today, at 11am, as usual, as it’s easy to arrange and remember that I need to take a bus which is exactly at 10.30. She didn’t seem very alert and at some point insisted on me taking her laundry home because ‘no one will do it here’, she also told me she […]
