Listening to a John Rutter CD with a harpist named Catrin Finch - very soothing music and very pretty, with a beautiful-sounding orchestra, and gorgeously recorded.  On Deutsche Grammophone.

Since I cannot eat six hours before the procedure, I awoke at 3:30, ate a sandwich and took all my meds for this morning.   I was back to bed by 3:45, and I slept poorly after that.  Annabelle stayed with me and Thatch fluttered in and out.  I don't think he wanted to settle; I think he wanted me to feed him.  I think now I should have given them a treat.

My friend Chris will pick me up after the procedure, since I'm required to have an escort.  We will hit a diner and I will have some breakfast.  If I'm feeling well, and I suspect I will, I will head down to City Center.

Love in the Afternoon is the only Cooper film I do not like.  He and his character were unappealing to me and there, IMHO, wasn't any chemistry between him and Hepburn.

I felt the same way the first time I watched it. Since it’s a Billy Wilder movie, I gave it another chance and liked it much more.

So, I came late into work today.  I sent this e-mail to my supervisor and my staff on why:

Quote
I'll be in late today.  It turns out that my credit card was hacked!  AARRGGHH!!  They changed my e-mail address on my on-line account, opened a checking account in my name, started taking cash advances from the credit card and depositing them into this new checking account.  I called the card's fraudulent hotline last night and now I'm talking with them again to deal with the checking account and deposits.  I'll be in as soon as I can. :-(
Title: Re: THE MUSE AND I ARE HAPPY
Post by: George on January 31, 2018, 02:00:46 PM
This all literally started just yesterday.  When I first checked my e-mails (I have several) yesterday in the morning, everything was fine.  Then when I checked again in the evening, over 300 spam e-mails came in just that afternoon for the one that I use for this credit card when I NEVER get any on that e-mail address.  I was just marking them as spam and deleting them when I noticed that one of them was for the bank that issued the credit card.  It looked legitimate, saying that the e-mail address for my account had changed.  I logged in (I did NOT click on any link in the e-mail) and the security question was different!  I was eventually able to log into the account and I changed the password and security questions, and that's when I saw that they made a whole bunch of $50 cash advances, and every single one had a $10 charge...totaling $1400!! :o They also created a checking account (which I never had) on this account and transferred the money into that checking account.  It didn't look like they actually withdrew any of the cash advances, so that's kind of good, I guess.  Anyway, I was able to get the card cancelled and they'll issue a new one.  I'll be sent some affidavits to sign, but I won't be liable for any of the charges.

DR George, ugh! So sorry you are having to go through this! I am confident that it will all be resolved satisfactorily, as each of mine have been. But it's still very stressful and a pain to go through. I think you are wise to be vigilant for other charges. These sound like clever thieves. Please keep us updated and especially let us know when it's all over.

Fortunately, as far as I can remember, everything that I had ordered or used the credit card for has been received, or at least charged and shipped.  I don't have any automatic payments set up with that card, so there shouldn't be any problem in that respect.  WHEW!!

And that's not to mention "Sitzprobe"

A sitzprobe always sounds like a medical procedure to me.

And I am home!  I have a little bit of Lena Horne work toight for Joshie and I will return to City center tomorrow to help him prepare for Friday's sitzprobe.

A Lena Horne stamp was released today.

I'll look for them. I'd like to have some. She truly deserves to be honored.

I had my hairs cut today, then went to my favorite food store. I also tried a chocolate-covered donut that looked good but wasn't. I indulged more than usual over the holidays and let's just say that my appetite for sweets didn't vanish on Jan 1, as I'd intended.

DR George, the credit card company is aware, so I would think any charges dated before your cancellation will be cancelled.

Fortunately, as far as I can remember, everything that I had ordered or used the credit card for has been received, or at least charged and shipped.  I don't have any automatic payments set up with that card, so there shouldn't be any problem in that respect.  WHEW!!

Yes, all of that will help. It's the embedded accounts that are so easy to miss.

BTW, tonight is a full moon, which is also a blue moon (second full moon this month), and a supermoon. There's also a lunar eclipse. That's a handful! So I guess weird things are to be expected.

Thanks, Jane!  But at least they didn't actually get any of the money from the account.  They made the cash advances and the put them in the newly created checking account...which now is all frozen.

Wednesday evening greetings!  We had great-nephew J here for several hours this afternoon.  His maternal grandmother has been his primary caregiver, but she’s the one with the broken leg and a busy toddler requires constant supervision.  I had Richard and Rob here to help and I’m still exhausted.  I imagine we’ll have more of these opportunities in the next few months.

Muse Margaret called - she's very invested in this book - it's funny.  She felt I needed to add one more little thing, just to make sure one of the characters always remains sympathetic to the reader, owning up to an early mistake the character makes and taking responsibility.  We found a place for it that actually worked in part two of the book and I added three very short sentences and she liked them bunches and it helps actually because I tagged it onto a paragraph consisting of two short sentences - I'd cut what followed it, so it was good to add it.
Title: Re: THE MUSE AND I ARE HAPPY
Post by: bk on January 31, 2018, 06:49:16 PM
But part of the problem is she doesn't have an updated version, so she forgets what we've already added and cut - a lot of what she worries about has already been adjusted and I made sure she remembered that we did that - but adding this little bit is fine.

Well, I need to leave work now.  I stayed late and filed Theater Artists Olympia's 2017 Annual Combined Excise Tax Return, and renewed our website domain (http://olytheater.com (http://olytheater.com)).  The website hasn't been updated in a while because we're not doing anything right now. ::) My printer at home is out of ink and I needed to print some things, so I did it all here.  And now, I'm going home.

Be back later.

This all literally started just yesterday.  When I first checked my e-mails (I have several) yesterday in the morning, everything was fine.  Then when I checked again in the evening, over 300 spam e-mails came in just that afternoon for the one that I use for this credit card when I NEVER get any on that e-mail address.  I was just marking them as spam and deleting them when I noticed that one of them was for the bank that issued the credit card.  It looked legitimate, saying that the e-mail address for my account had changed.  I logged in (I did NOT click on any link in the e-mail) and the security question was different!  I was eventually able to log into the account and I changed the password and security questions, and that's when I saw that they made a whole bunch of $50 cash advances, and every single one had a $10 charge...totaling $1400!! :o They also created a checking account (which I never had) on this account and transferred the money into that checking account.  It didn't look like they actually withdrew any of the cash advances, so that's kind of good, I guess.  Anyway, I was able to get the card cancelled and they'll issue a new one.  I'll be sent some affidavits to sign, but I won't be liable for any of the charges.
