It's perfectly normal to dry off your ice trays before you put them in the freezer, right?

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.

I've slept kinda bad the last few nights and now I feel like a zombie. My burnout definitely isn't over yet even though I kinda planned it would be... 😅 I guess you can't schedule a burnout recovery after all! I have 2 events this evening I was going to go to but we'll see if that'll happen. Would be nice to go as they are related to voluntary work which I'm getting into (red cross stuff). I find it hard to understand which things energize and which exhaust -often it can be both- and it seems there's always a big delay which makes anticipating even more difficult.

Last night I took my SO to visit this environmental art piece "Up and Under" by Nancy Holt. We walked around and had some tea, it was nice. I like the place. The municipality recently restored the structures as it had gotten in rough shape over the years. A few weeks ago an electronic music event was organized there, it's great that the place can finally be used for such! I didn't get to visit the show unfortunately but I heard it was cool!

Would be nice to experience some of Holt's other pieces, but most of them are in the US.

That is really cool. I'll have to see if she has any installations near me .
