Really, it's in the retina...

Has it really been a week? I'm already becoming a slug at doing this. Not that it hasn't been busy around here. On Wednesday, I had two interesting pieces of news.

1. My retina seems to be detached. I have THINNING retinas (like thinning hairlines?) and the one in my left eye apparently just got too thin and formed a hole. I guess I didn't do anything too out of the ordinary; it's NORMAL for the lucky people who are nearsighted.

So...

the optomitrist forbade me to go to work on Thursday and made an appointment on the spot with the retina specialist for Thursday am. The gist of it is that I will be in surgery this Wednesday to REATTACH my retina. I know... it sounds quite fun. No pirate jokes, please =) Stephen is already coming up with them. I'll be out of school for a little while, which meant that I've have to bust it to get everything graded before I have one good eye (during the recovery) because grades are due the week after next.

2. That night, we found out that the people selling the house we want ACCEPTED our offer! So we will be moving back to the other side of Lake Nokomis to Chicago Avenue! FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY, we are moving into our very own house. After we sign the insane paperwork that is. And thoughts of paint and fix-ups and trips to Home Depot and Ikea and Target have been taking up a good portion of our time!

So I do intend to update more often... just a few things going on. And now I have to plan what I'm teaching tomorrow, so that's all for now... HAve a good week everyone. (I'll have to work on my endings!)
