Hold on, I know what you are thinking! "He's a telepath" Was I right?

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

My SO is coming back from work trip tonight and their company pays a hotel as the flight lands quite late, so I decided to make use of the free hotel room and came to the big city to visit a museum and see friends. It has been a nice day and I've managed with stress factors really well this time (not trying to see all the friends at once or visit a dozen different places, wearing noise cancelling headphones all the time I'm outside or in a crowded place, also allowed myself to take the later train so I could sleep late and have a slow breakfast)! Yay!

I feel lucky. I started going bald in my early 20s (not a surprise with my uncles and grandfather, all bald by their thirties.) I've been shaving my head for over twenty years now.

Once you get used to it, it's great. We've converted almost completely to IPV6.
