But don't worry! I am feeling great and I won't fall off the road (I'm not quite back on the wagon lol, I'll be back on it soon though!)
I have to take the computer back to the shop tomorrow, they had to order something that should arive tomorrow (Monday). I took the computer home though because it was up and running lol, and I couldn't live without if one more day! I am very hopeful that I will get it back the same day though, Tuesday at the latest!
I did well today. Even when the store declined my debit card and I couldn't buy cat food! Grrr. I know I have money in my account, so I'm thinking it's the same thing that happened about a month ago when my card was declined (at the same store!). My MasterCard number was 'compromised' and they had to issue me a new one. Wiht out contacting me, just canelled my debit card! It was this big ordeal and really pissed me off... and that has to be what is going on now. I don't have much money lol, but I have way more than enough to pay for the damn cat food!!!
On top of having no way to get MY money, one thing that pissed me off is that the bank wouldn't tell me what merchant had compromised my card. Isn't it my right? It's my money isn't it? Idiots. And now they did it again. On a Sunday, when I couldn't even call to see wtf is going on. Can't go get any cash from the atm if my card is deactivated. Can't go to the bank since it's closed....
Last week, I would have come home and used Ray's card and ordered a pizza! BUT it's not last week. It's now, and I am fine. It is an inconvenience, but nothing I can do about it. I will handle it tomorrow. See, no biggie :)
I'll take ray's card and get cat food at a different store at 4am when I take him to work. The cats think it's just their lucky day, as they have had lots of tuna today! :)
THANK YOU
I know I've said thank you in the comments, but I really hope you all understand how much your support has meant to me, especially the last few days.
We all have problems and issues. Now that I feel better, I know that mine are small compared to some. My stress is nothing compared to others. But when I was in that state, it felt unbearable and I thank you all for all the kind words and support.
All of us have struggles. When I see your struggles my heart goes out to you, and I hope you can find comfort like I have here. Like I said, most of you have more on your plate than I do! Things you have to deal with, things you have to overcome everyday. There are medical issues, and so many other problems out there, that I feel guilty for getting so down... My worries are no more important than anyone else's and I just thank you for taking time out to make me feel better.
I hope that all of your stresses and hardships are made a little better by getting them out here in blogland.
I know getting things off my chest here has done so much for me. I just want you to know that I'm here if you need someone to listen, just like you all have been here for me.
HUGS and Thank you!
I'll be back tomorrow, hopefully, for what I ate today and your regularly scheduled program! :) It's 12:30, and I'm off to bed. Not exactly midnight, but pretty good! :)

Bless you dear heart.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find a more long-term answer!
Good you didn't eat that pizza!
Yay; I knew you'd get your mojo back :D
ReplyDeleteAs for the bank situation, that is ludicrous they wouldn't give you details. Erm, without customers like you, they wouldn't even have a business at all! They're just like casinos in disguise really. Well done for rising above it and carrying on in the same way you intended.
I can just picture your kitties now - on the phone, compromising your bank card so they can get tuna instead of Meow Mix. It's a conspiracy I tell ya'! lol [Don't get me started on banks. Hate that we have to deal with them at all. grrrr They are necessary evils. Bah]
ReplyDeleteYou did great Tina and you should be very proud of yourself. And never be apologetic for having troubles - I think everyone does but it all boils down to how you handle it -and you my dear are doing just great. As Verity said - you got your mojo back :D
I'll miss you while you are gone but thanks for the heads up. I am not really in stalker mode today. heehee
Love you - have a good one [and save some tuna for you!]
How are you meant to avoid that merchant if they won't tell you which one it is? Won't this just keep happening?
ReplyDeleteHope it goes well at the computer shop :)
Thank you all :)
ReplyDeleteI have to eat some pie, not to worry! It's not filled with calories, it's just humble pie! haha. All that complaining I did about the bank, and it really was my fault! Being depressed and not doing anything, included not writing down things in my checkbook, and I only had $3... yeah. My bad :) I'm just glad they declined it instead of me having an over draft fee!
Everything else about when it happened before was their fault though. When I was on the phone complaining and wanting to know the info, he told me that when this happens the merchant has to really go through a lot with the security and it isn't likely to happen again... I hope that's true!
But for now My relief is bigger than my embarrassment ;)
Got the computer back, all is fixed, and it's even a tiny bit faster! Woo Hoo! :)
