    Vacuum cleaners! (and more)

    I will say I thankfully didn’t pay full price. I very briefly dabbled in being a Kirby sales rep, but my only sale was my mother who purchased it out of pity with the employee discount. It’s too heavy for her so after awhile she gave it to me.

    Seasonal affective disorder.

    Interesting, I never thought about that aspect of it. I’ve always loved fall/winter so it always sucked when the SAD would start kicking in. Hah. I always get a chuckle out of the acronym.

    lol yeah it’s a Sentria 2. I appreciate the time you put into your response, but I do know it’s the motor. I took it to the Kirby rep nearby and they did the diagnostic. I probably could do it myself if I actually had the energy and motivation to figure it out. Fun fact: I broke it trying to...

    Typing / editing process sometimes cumbersome in 'Autism Forums.'

    I’ve definitely noticed it on my iPhone 12, and it seems this is really the only site that does it. I use google Chrome, iOS version 17.1 if that’s helpful.

    Very frustrated with myself lately (child related)

    I am so glad you posted this. My son is a year and a half and he is WILD. After losing my job two weeks ago I’m now home all the time and while it’s great for him to have Mama home every day, it’s beyond exhausting.

    Vacuum cleaners! (and more)

    I’m by no means an “enthusiast,” but I did love my Kirby. It’s about 10 years old and unfortunately collecting dust in the basement because I somehow managed to blow the motor on it and can’t afford the US$500 to repair it. Right now I have a Bissell bagless upright that is mediocre at best. It...

    Seasonal affective disorder.

    While you’re correct in saving money, sometimes it’s hard to even get up off the couch. So a full spectrum lightbulb like @Neonatal RRT linked in a nearby lamp can give one just enough boost to be able to motivate. Seasonal Affective Disorder sucks. My psychiatrist prescribes me a vitamin D...

    What!? That makes sense!

    Welcome! I’m in a similar boat. Just got diagnosed Monday (I’m 31 with an 18 month old son) and I’m still riding the rollercoaster of emotions from it, although so much of my childhood makes sense now.

    This or that?

    Plain. Only if they’re seamless. Plaid or paisley?

    Where does Your Username come from?

    I only have one child, my toddler son, but my husband likes to joke that I’m a “single mom of two boys.” And so, Momofboys.

    Do you still borrow books at the Library?

    Screen addiction hooray! /sarcasm I very frequently reread the same series over and over, so Kindle is cheaper and significantly more portable than physical books. But I’m also a fan of the Libby app, which connects to your library card and lets you borrow ebooks. My bookworm best friend...

    Songs you dislike

    Wonderwall by Oasis is one of my top hated. There’s just something about his voice that grates on me. Also “hick-hop.” It’s basically rap but with a southern accent and country lyrics. “Don’t touch my truck” is a great/horrible example.

    Welp, I’m jobless.

    That was my thinking, but I actually asked my boss about him and she said he’s “too gruff” to be a good teacher. But my in-laws have a very close family friend who is a jeweler as well. I won’t work for him because I don’t want to potentially ruin long term friendships but maybe he knows...

    Welp, I’m jobless.

    Which I would have no problem doing, I've worked food service and grocery pretty much since I started working, but It would be about an $8/hour pay cut. And just about any other job out there that pays as much as this one did requires experience, which I only have in jewelry sales. For right...
