Today was meant to be fun, for both of us

I've taken today off work, as I had some flexi time owed to me, I was tired, and as this Monday is a bank holiday I thought I would have an extra long weekend.

I had so many plans for today, all involving going out somewhere nice with my good wife. Maybe to grab a bite to eat and enjoy the last of the half decent British weather. Instead, I have landed up transferring 30 domain names from 20i.com to cloudflare.com. What a sad individual I am 😂. I'd only started transferring them as I was waiting for everyone to get ready. Then my Autistic & OCD self took over and didn't let me stop until everything was moved across. I find it difficult to leave a job half done, everything has to be nice and neat.

One time I spent half a day setting up a new email account on Google Workspace, only to wake up the next morning and decide I'd made a major mistake and needed to move the emails back to the previous provider.

I've swapped email providers so often it's a joke, I've changed email addresses so many times, I'm surprised anyone can keep up with it.

I have been officially diagnosed with OCD but not yet for Autism, my family and friends have all referred to my tisms, which is a slang term for Autism, and I defiantly have some of the traits.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is another day. A chance for me to put my Apple Macbook Pro M1 away and do something amazing with my long suffering wife.
