Too much caffeine makes me ramble

All of my debts have been paid off and our applications have been sent in. Jaclyn is buying a new couch (the exact same one that Dave bought when he and I were living together- go figure!) and I’m daydreaming about the stuff that I’m going to buy: some new bookshelves for the sunroom, a matching coffee table to put in front of my loveseat which will also be in the sunroom, end tables, an entertainment center, perhaps a new kitchen table and chairs in dark wood. I have thousands of dollars in my checking account and nothing else to spend it on- I might as well spend some of it on furniture. I don’t need any of it for a security deposit, or at least it feels that way because our first month of rent is free (the security deposit is equal to one months rent, so paying for our security deposit will feel like paying rent for the month of June). I’ve been saving for months in anticipation of having lots of large fees to pay- moving costs, a security deposit, first and last months rent if they request it up front as some apartments do, etc- and I don’t need any of it with this apartment. Jackie has even offered to help me move my big furniture with her dad’s truck.

I haven’t given Alison my notice, yet. I’m waiting until I know that I’m moving out. I need confirmation that we’ve got the apartment, first. And she only requires a 30 day notice, so I have time.

I AM SO EXCITED TO HAVE A KITCHEN, AGAIN! I am SO EXCITED to have my own space, again. Space outside of my bedroom, that is.

I’ve lost 12lbs since starting on Wellbutrin. It really is a magical little pill! I’ve had two different people on two totally separate occasions ask me if I’ve been losing weight- so that’s awesome. I really can’t stop singing its praises- I’ve even got Dave talking about becoming a ‘shining, happy, skinny person’ along with me. He’s mostly kidding. I’m aiming to lose another 15lbs… that’ll put me back at my normal weight- well, the weight that I consider to be normal for my body- the weight that I was before diabetes and my relationships with Dave and Shawn. I don’t forsee any issues losing the rest of this weight. It’s just falling off. It’s so awesome. My summer clothes from this past summer are getting baggy! They used to be tight! One of my pairs of pants are totally not even wearable anymore.

I work until 5ish today, and am then planning on cruising to Dave’s, parking my car, and grabbing a cab to the Devotchka/Gogol Bordello show. I’m meeting Clint and Dave there. I’ll have my camera with me! Can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait.
