I Have Asperger's

Sometimes, you just have to laugh at bad days.  Today was the first day of school for the local district.  Last night, I had 2 terrible nightmares.  I could hardly think when I was at work due to the continuous flashbacks I was having.  (I have flashbacks because I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from my school experiences.)  They were so awful and by the time I got back home I was a mess.  I just had one after another, and I was at the point where I was just rocking myself sobbing.  Finally, I called my Mom, who reminded me to take a medication (which helped!) and told me to come home when I was able to drive.  I talked to my therapist, which also helped a bit.  Then I went to see my Mom.  Most of the flashbacks have pretty much subsided, so I was able to do some laundry and be with my Mom.  I even got to visit a neighbor.  I was feeling pretty well when I left, and THEN I started seeing the school buses again.  One after another, I could barely stand it.  I thought to myself "Just get home."

So where's the irony in my story?  When I turned into the parking lot of the apartments I live in, WAITING for me there, was a school bus.  RIGHT outside MY apartment.  Literally, right outside MY door.  After cursing every word I could think of, I just had to laugh. 

And at the very moment I type this, I'm hearing it start up and leave.
