I just gave up the time to shave. So my senior cat could poop in peace.

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.

Back home from a 2 week trip, I feel like I've lost myself.

Recently I bought Samorost 3 on Steam and it was a good way to stop and slow down a bit the things in life.

Loved the game! Great artstyle, soundtrack and a funny adventure. It's still available with discount on Steam.

What a polite looking little kitty. Really looking forward to seeing my cat again when returning from vacation today.

We were paying a visit to the Baltic Sea over an extended weekend. Had to leave a day early because of the weather turning bad but it was a great stay nonetheless.
