It's Been a Crazy Week So Far!

Greetings

To say this has been a crazy week, so far, is an understatement. 

Monday was a day of stress and meltdowns worrying about Tuesday, the worst part being how would I beat my insomnia into submission and actually get to sleep before 0400.

On Tuesday I arose at 0600, after 3 hours of shut eye, and set up my laptop to confront the reason for yesterday's anxiety; my ASD assessment. It kicked off at 0730 and after 65 minutes of being put through a rather large wringer; I finally received the diagnosis, and validation, I've waited decades for Ok hand

There was little time to process this as I had to dash off to SW, and on my return I was back at the laptop for my Talking Therapies session. Once this was done, I finally sat back, took a deep breath and thought "what the f**k do I do now?"

This confusion, with a hefty dose of rollercoasting emotions, carried on until yesterday, when the craziest thing of all occurred. An email dropped into my inbox informing me I had been ooffered not one, but two, unconditional places at Uni!! Now, I get that this is no biggie these days, but for a 58 year old with ASD and only a handful of CSE's that aren't worth the parchment they're written on, it's positively mahoosive!

So my "what the f**k do I do now?" question is pretty moot as I now have to turn my attention to deciding which offer to accept, and navigate the world of student finance. 

I know I've peaked now as far as this week is concerned but for a short while I experienced shock, bewilderment and the closest I can get to elation in equal measures. 

Two major events occurring in 24 hours has now sent my spicy brain into a bit of a tizz, so I'm now going to watch YouTube until 0500
