Basketball reference as transitional activity? I now have SO MANY ROCKS. My desk looks like an Andy Goldsworthy commission. When I was a kid I wore this one pair of reversible "jams," as in "Jimmy Jams," that they were literal shreds by the time I gave them up. And even then they became pinned to my wall. I take issue with the lack of mourning, because I think it depends on the degree to which you personify objects, something that autists (and I) tend to do prodigiously.
Oof … so much to think about here. I have no answers to your questions yet, but this has provided me a lot to chew on, and I’m grateful for that.
I also was trying to think of the one thing that I had left off my grocery list, and that one thing was margarita mix, so thank you for that reminder, too.
