It's Sunday. It's hot. I'm hiding in the basement.

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.

Depression is a bitch, and $13 an hour 19 hours a week isn't enough to live on. I still have ten months of this shit before I finish my cert in health information technology (HIT), then three months after that 'til the associates degree. I'm sick of it.

Do many people in US have A/C at home?

Yes but we go down to the basement where it's cooler, so we can save on electricity.

I'm excited as I made some homemade soup yesterday and will be delivering it to sick family members today. I'm not excited they are sick, but it is a tradition I want to get into (delivering homemade food to friends and family when they are sick or feeling down).
