All the things

My life right now is fairly exciting. When someone asks me "What's been going on?" I have several things to tell them rather than the usual "Oh, same as always." I have mixed feelings about that. It's thrilling to be in the middle of so much, but the hours that I spend alone doing nothing are some of my most treasured moments these days. I've not gone out much during the week for that reason. Or, really, even on the weekends lately.
My surgery is on Monday. I'll be glad to have that done with. But I will miss working out for a week or two or however long it will take. The risk is that I'll dislodge the blood clot and start bleeding, which would be SUPER inconvenient and probably not very good for me either. I took a three days off work. I probably don't NEED to take off Tuesday and Wednesday, but I'm not gonna want to be there, and I can work on packing up my apartment (Caleb thinks I should only rest and do nothing and does not like the idea of my moving boxes around, but it is hard to be useless for THREE days).
Wait, did I just say pack up my apartment? Yep I did. Caleb and I closed on a house yesterday! Months of saving, looking, negotiating, and a few hours of making repairs to a house we didn't yet own so that it would pass inspection. We did it, and it's ours. I'm freaked out, but also very excited about what we could do with this place. Also I've never lived with a significant other before, so... I hope I'm not too much of a handful. I haven't shared groceries with another person since I was a kid living with my parents.
Caleb is already talking about a joint bank account, but I would rather we just focus on living together before we even begin to open that can of worms. I move slowly, I guess.
My boot camp instructor has had me leading cool-downs after class the last couple days. That has been neat. So far, the feedback is good. He said he thinks I can help a lot of people, and he wants to turn me into a really good trainer. It is nice to be good at something I am excited about. Hopefully, I can stop being a waitress soon. The plan is for me to start teaching in September, once I'm recovered.
Also I have a new teapot.
It's a tokoname and it's for my gyokuro. I may have also ordered a Zisha teapot for my favorite oolong.... okay, I did. Hehehe.
Well anyway. I'm going to spend probably another hour doing nothing, and then I'll get my morning started. I moved several things into my car around 8AM when it was still cool, along with some cleaning supplies for that dusty new house. Time to shine, new home.
