Righty, I am meeting Sup on the 1 March at the uni he works at for a viva pep talk.
This will be a Very Important Meeting and am convinced I will come out near tears with worry. I don't think my PhD is that good, (is good enough but not wow! Great! and I don't like less than great tbh) and think there will be holes to fill during the defence. I am dreading a face to face meeting where sup tells me it is a bit crap :( Ach well.
In the meantime I am packing to move house which we will do in less than three weeks... we will have moved in for less than a week when I meet with Sup and then I shall have just over two weeks to use his advices to prep for the viva. Then I shall do the viva and have about 3 weeks- 1 month to sort out corrections before I go into labour. Eek!
Bean has had terrible tonsilitus and altho it has gone he is so wiped out he can only do half a day of active anything then zonks on the settee all aft. I am sad for the poor mite but cannot tell you how happy I am that I can look after him completely and utterly, without any feelings of guilt or insane stress about how I shall miss a work deadline. My stress levels are immeasurably improved! Am so very lucky :)
However in my normal life I am now reaching a point where I am thinking or dreaming about moving or viva meetings/prep/nerves/imaginings too much and can't really concentrate on anything else. I have a great book I am trying to read but keep drifting off to be worried!
Other than that I can honestly say that I am still very happy to have finished it!
