It's nearly over thank goodness

I am not looking forward to the new year, that is a meaningless instance to me, I am merely looking forward to the resumption of normality, when shops, banks and offices can be relied upon to be open when you expect them to be. When you do not have to put all manner of plans on hold because the rest of the world has descended into temporary madness.

Actually I am going away as soon as it gets back to normal, on autism business I suppose you might say as I am going to the Uta Frith Festschrift. After that I have some volunteer training to do. One needs to be properly trained of course before one becomes an NAS befriender, even I am not exempt from that for all I might be the most qualified one there.

I am also looking forward to transport being normal (although the fares are going up) and being able to get my landie sorted out with a new clutch.

I also have a number of modifications I want to make to the camping arrangements in my landie that will make it altogether more convenient than it was this Christmas, more storage space, maybe even some space heating.

As for the rest of Autism, well I have no new years resolutions, I will continue to go my own way, and never mind what anyone else says or cares about it.

You know Larry, that's a very good point. I'll also look forward to this, as well as the local grocery store moving all the seasonal "crap" out of the aisles where they restrict cart traffic and can make grocery shopping a pain in the ass.

I wouldn't go as far as the resumption of 'normal' but maybe the recapture of 'routine' would be a step in the right direction.

Yes, it's nearly over.
Just new years day and tuesday to go, then we can all get back to "normality"!
