| Introduction | I'm a 28 year old woman living in rural NSW with her partner of 9 1/2 years. I have two cats, two blue tongue skinks, one standard poodle and a shih tzu/maltese cross. I live in a nissan hut. I love reading and collecting books (I own approximately 1500 books, and am currently about halfway through cataloguing them.) I am on Disability, and knit and crochet to fill my days and bring in a bit of cash. I care for my partner who has multiple disabilities. I have Asperger's Syndrome. This means I have to study, manage my life and sequence tasks in a different way to be able to complete them. I use lists a lot, and my partner helps me keep on track when I forget. |
