Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1011 , Tuesday 04/08/2026 Up at around 7am because I could not sleep thru the noise from next door. Chores & breakfast were followed by a very unproductive day, could not get my brain into gear at all! Mrs S wanted to go to Costco™ this afternoon so off we went. The cunning plan was to have an early tea at their ultra cheap cafe & then hit the shop proper. Sadly the first part of the plan went slightly awry! The first issue is that Costco™, in their wisdom, have take all but 3 of the tables with seats out & replaced them with standing tables. I HATE eating at standing tables but luckily we managed to snag one of the 3 with seats. These are the 2 x 2 seater benches with the table in between type. I had just settled in to wait while Mrs S ordered our tea when some strange woman just sat down opposite me - no please / thank you / do you mind, she just brazenly nicked Mrs S’s seat - I protested about this so she moved down the bench saying something about sharing. Now I have a thing about personal space & a bigger thing about people with no manners! But what could I do - I could not in all conscience tell her to leave because there were, undeniably 2 empty seats at the table. It completely spoilt my tea though. I think that we will pay extra net time & go to an eatery where there are enough tables for all the diners! Then having to traipse around the store & endure all the people almost finished me off. Final Thoughts. The trip to Costco™ really frazzled me, at this point I am not sure if I’ll be going to the gym in the morning, I’m not sure I can cope with being in close proximity to people. That sounds wimpish & weak & hopefully after a nights sleep I will feel differently. Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖 @autistics@fedigroups.social #TimsASDjourney #ActuallyAutistic #Neurospicy #TheMammutMoves
