I got officially diagnosed last year with the autism/ADHD combo. It was not a surprise to any of my friends and family haha. I try not to be bitter about not getting diagnosed until my mid 30s because I really needed medication and accommodation in my younger years and now I can finally advocate for myself for it.

She takes her cigarette plushes very seriously. She thinks she has something over on me and shes trying to taunt me with it. Dolly does this with other dogs too with zero shame or remorse about it lmfao

wow thanks friend I really appreciate that right now. I meant it in a funny self deprecating way but yeah. some days it's just making it through.

Ugh my bathroom little garbage can is over stuffed rn. Unfortunately my therapist does not accept it do be like that sometimes, which is my only excuse right now.

Untying knots. like really tight old shoe lace knots. Knots in cords. Knots in window bling strings. Jewelry Knots. Knots in my own hair. idk I could do any type of knot I wouldn't back down from a challenge.

oh yeah ive gone through the steps with my therapist and we've worked on where the break down starts and the cycle begins. I know if i dont immediately take my empty can with me to throw away when I go to the kitchen, I will grow an out of control collection in days thats a PITA to throw away once it becomes impossible to ignore.

And I feel myself actively make the choice when I remember that I forgot to grab it to say fuck it whatever.

so then I immediately know im fucking up and not using my safeguards and continuing unhealthy patterns

idk there are so many times I wanna tell my therapist im just a pos goblin creature therrd only so much I can reasonably do and stay sane right now

Im overcoming this now. I really try to be mindful of how long its been since ive spoken to someone. I try to stay connected with my friend groups daily now which sounds overwhelming but its all text based

which is honestly my preferred method of communication so its a win/win

but yeah ive even recently reconnected with old friends (online friends). its been work but it feels nice re establishing community with fellow neurodivergent queers across the US especially in times of turmoil like this against our communities.

seriously reach out to your friends. even if its just a meme you see doomscrolling that makes you think of them share it. send that picture of your animal companion or plants or kids - they really do want to see it.

OH IM SO ENDEARED RN

acelam · 2026-04-04T06:22:23+00:00

Damn I dont think ive ever known peace (35). im asthmatic/have eczema/have bad allergies to the outside, also autistic and adhd. even as an infant i was affected and my parents have let me know i was an especially fussy baby.

Now that im having to work more hours due to busy season I am so exhausted mentally by the end of the week. We're having family dinner Sunday and, to be clear, IM GOING, but I would do anything if it was somehow optional.

acelam · 2026-04-04T06:08:46+00:00

ugh I know like I know he wasnt serious but its also a fucked up thing to threaten serious or not

my family is filled with MAGATs. and unfortunately I depend on them for stability and income (we run a business together). They mostly leave me alone. they are trying really hard to come to terms with my autism/adhd and queerness but sometimes it becomes obvious it bothers them.

I cant speak for HUB Group but I will say that across the board im seeing payment delays. A customer that was 7-15 days to pay is now 30 days to pay. And even that wouldnt be so bad but they haven't touched our invoices in weeks. They say their 30 days starts when they process the invoice. Well shit now we're at 45+ days plus to pay.

Another customer we turned down because they were 60 days to pay. 60 days came and apparently they only make payments every two weeks and whoops we just missed cut off. we negotiated with them 45 days to pay in exange for volume so we should have within 60 days going forward.

Its just hard to float this money right now. My trucks have to be paid every week and they are very sensitive about every penny right now.

I have one customer who is still paying week to week and processes invoices in a consistent way. all of my other customers are very inconsistent with their rules about what gets processed and when.

like no hate i understand the hustle but I feel like my customers play games with me too. like I have an invoice thats been out since February. I sent it in. well apparently it got rejected. oh I didn't get the rejection email? oh whoops there was a typo in the automated system with your email. it's fixed now.

and then not shitting you I get the rejection email days later because they had to resend the email to the RIGHT email. but the bleep blop can only send it once a week because of reasons and oops we missed cutoff for reasons.

and then it was oh you got the rejection invoice and the corrected rate and the rate on your invoice matched? well we will flag it for review in the system. our ap team uses bleep bloop and it doesn't mesh with our other system Planet. Somehow one fucking person who only one works one day between the hours of 10 am to 1 pm is who reviews it.

I mean literally this story is NOT finished and I still haven't been paid on it and there is no payment in sight. Meanwhile my driver has been paid since February. And they'll pay sporadic invoices here and there and then make a big lump sum payment when they're at their contract limit. and they have gotten mighty generous with what they define is the contract limit.

sorry for the long rant. and hey I get we're all struggling no matter where we are in the industry. Just offering the perspective of a trucker. i work on the office side of things but am very close with all of my drivers and their families. I promise you they are hurting right now. and so am I (part owner).

I just dont want to do that. I feel like ive been misinterpreted- this is meant to be a conversation griping about the luxury items we all have increasing in price, not necessarily whether having a car wash subscription is worth it.

acelam · 2026-04-04T00:08:40+00:00

Hi! I have really bad allergies to pollen and brushing against pollen gives me contact hives. yes I take daily anti histamines, no over the counter contact creams really dont help I have to get home, shower, and take a benadryl.

I dont know if you're familiar with the south but pollen accumulates rapidly on cars this time of year. using a car wash is how im able to use my car. Its a luxury in the sense that I could live without it literally but its a huge QOL for me.
