On my stupid autistic brain.

Last week I received notification that the power would be out today (Tuesday) due to necessary electrical work being done on the flats I live in. Of course, stupid brain went straight into planning mode. What will I need to do and when. What steps will I need to take to ensure that I have what I need whilst the power was out. Days of making plans, thinking and rethinking what I needed, lists scattered about the flat to remind me, amended and then amended again. Endless hours of mental preparation and thought and all because of a few hours without power.

And then, despite the fact that the assurance was that the power would be back on by 4pm, 5pm at the latest, stupid brain was all, but what if it isn't, what then, have you thought of that, no you haven't? So, of course, I had to make plans for that as well, just to keep stupid brain happy and stop it from endlessly fretting and bugging me.

Well, guess what. The power wasn't back on by 4pm, or even 5pm. It didn't come back on until 9pm. Which just goes to show. Sometimes our strange and different ways of looking at something, aren't so weird at all. They can be very wise and stupid brain, isn't so stupid after all. 😀
