Things are not good but I stopped worrying
So, just when I thought I can’t have any more problems, it turned out I was wrong: I lost my ID card. And the thing is, I don’t even know how it happened. I was in my hostel room, I remember that I removed it from my coat pocket and my intention was to put…

My last job
I was sacked from my last job. I explained that in my last post. And I don’t mean the job for Home Group here, Home Group didn’t sack me, I left. My last job was a job in a care home. I found it a bit difficult working there full time. I like taking care…

Deadline
Now I want to be back on Thursday, no matter what. At least this would be like a deadline and I think I may need it. I’m not sure if the new care home allows visists. I forgot to ask. If it does, I could stay a bit longer, I really need some time one…

Universal credit
So I had my UC appointment and found out that if I’m out of the country for over 28 days my claim will be stopped. It doesn’t seem very fair, if I went to sort out the same situation to another town in the UK my benefits wouldn’t be stopped, so I’m not treated equally…

11.30am – can’t go this way
So I went to Piotrków Trybunalski to check my mum’s bank account as power of attorney has already been registered. So the good thing is no more money has been stolen, mum has enough for 4 years of a private care home (if I add her pension) but POA doesn’t allow me to use online…

8.35am – am I autistic enough
That’s what I’m wondering about sometimes. I describe ‘normal life’ here, even though having a massive leak in the kitchen, being victim of fraud or serious workplace harassment is certainly not normal, but I guess you may know what I mean: I don’t write about sensory issues (even though I’m oversensitive to noise), I don’t…

Second attempt
This is my second attempt at blogging. The first time was when I had Employment Tribunal claim against Home Group (aka The Company). I found it very difficult at the time, my mind was constantly focused on the claim but I didn’t want to write about it so I quickly ended up struggling with ideas.…

Coping
I was just thinking how mum always tried to help me to cope with things. She didn’t seem to understand the world around her very well but had good ideas sometimes. Her ideas helped me organise a lift to the airport at the beginning of lockdown when majority of buses got cancelled and we only…

Morning of The Day
I’ll be leaving my hostel in a few minutes to get to mum’s care home, to sign power of attorney. Google map says it’s 30 minutes walk, that means I need to allocate at least 45. Weather is not very nice but it’s not raining. The night in a hostel was OK. For the price…

Immaturity
I did hear that people with Asperger’s are immature and I wonder sometimes what that actually means. If I didn’t have Asperger’s, would I deal any better with this situation? Would I not be fed up? Would I not believe that money should be spent on home improvement rather than putting elderly relatives into care…
