Staying and going

My hubs was supposed to have left today for a 12 day business trip to China and South Korea. It got canceled yesterday. I didn't want him to go for so long a trip, and I was irritated as all get out that he's now here. And while he's insistent that I keep my plans that I have made, part of me feels obligated that I will have to keep all those plans, even if I change my mind on them. Needless to say, it just reinforces the fact that I like to know things in advance and don't tend to work well with rapid change.

I just finished reading Look Me In The Eye: My Life With Asperger's by John Elder Robison. I tore through this book quite quickly, the writing style is really easy to read, and it's an entertaining (and sometimes heart-crushing) read. John Robison had done work with electronics, pyrotechnics, and ended up running his own auto repair business. After reading it, I'm looking at some of my behaviours in a new light (like my reaction to the cancellation of the hub's business trip), and am wondering if any of the constances have experience with autism spectrum disorders? Are there any good resources that explain the various behaviours along the autism spectrum? Thanks for any insights you might have.

I got the idea for this blog from the other constances, and while I'm not trying to have meatspace people read this, I'm not going to stop if someone finds it. Because really, this is a blog for me. An outlet where I can connect with other people out there. A place where I'll be talking about my forgiveness journey. Where I can talk about things I'm reading, watching, and otherwise thinking about (and not be hindered by twitter's 140 character limit). I'm excited to be doing this for me.

Moving in

Howdy from a new Constance. Unlike some of the other tenants, this is my only blog. It seemed like a nice group of people, so I thought I would join. More about me to come. Stay tuned!
