Overwhelming Reality

So, today is one of those days where I am just at home, trying to finish my Post Graduate work off!

I should have had it done and dusted for January of this year, but due to all the mad stuff that's been happening, I have been granted an extension until September. I've been hacking away at the work piece by piece but now we're on the home straight and there's a lot that needs lining up, dusting off and getting ready for the big weekend. 

Realising how much work I have left to do
As part of my big finale, I have to travel to the University for the weekend to do one last live exam and hand in the rest of the portfolio of work. That's taking a lot of planning and preparing!

Previously I've been up there on my own, but it's caused me a world off difficulties! This was before I knew I was Autistic, now we know why certain things make me stressed, we can plan ahead! More on the travel planning at a later date.

In recent days we, and our neighbors, have been burgled. Luckily they didn't get inside anyone's house, but the raided a lot of back gardens. Mine and my partners bicycle have gone missing. 

This was a massive shock to me, as where we live it's really difficult for a singular person to enter the garden never mind persons taking bicycles and other things that have gone missing. In light of this, my partner has decided we should move.

Now, I'm all on board with this plan. I've been a bit freaked out the past few days, being home at night whilst he's out at work. I've had a look around online, thinking it hard to find somewhere that would suit, and actually found somewhere pretty nice.

We need somewhere that is detached (so there isn't noise from other people bothering me), has more than one bedroom (for meltdowns and quiet time), and that is going to be isolated enough that I don't have to deal with scary people walking around outside, but close enough to amenities that I don't have to drive for hours to get a bottle of pop!

And, as I've said, I've found somewhere that fits perfectly. Viewing tomorrow lunch time, hopefully it's all it seems to be. 

But, if it is, I've then got 3 Weeks to finish a portfolio and then straight on to moving house... I'm sure it'll all work out just fine :|
