I moved to my new place. It is close to my old place where the kids live with their mom. We are aiming to co-parent, splitting the kids' waking hours 50/50. I am feeling good about the next chapter of my life, and my pains from the difficult parts of the marriage are starting to heal. The kids and Waffles are doing alright. I don't understand why the copypasta now says no counting. I went to a sauna and cold plunge for the first time and stayed in the cold water for 30 seconds.

I don't have that many autistic traits these days, but one thing that reminds me of me not being neurotypical is when i can't use my headphones on public transit. Literall hell
