The nice thing about today is that the sun is shining, it's 77 degrees, and it feels like heaven outside.



It sounds like heaven.

Now, let's get to the second SNAFU of the day:

American Express called and left a message that I must call them ASAP.

Why?

Well, first I had to do an identity check for them.  Once they knew I was me, I was told that someone had tried to use my card on January 18th to place a food order with Shopify (in Canada!!!).

On January 18, as it turns out, I had placed an online order with MiLa Chinese food company, for dumplings and noodles (I love their product).   Is it only a coincidence that MiLa is in Washington state and that the attempted food order was on the same date as the order I placed with them?  Happily, AMEX did not accept that particular order since it was for food delivery and I am in South Caroline whereas the food was going to be delivered to someone in Washington state!!!

All that said, my American Express card will now be replaced.  Sigh.  They are also implementing more stringent security measures, which means I will likely get refusals of payment until i verify, via text message, that it is me using the card. 

Sigh.  Not ideal for "online" orders, but it safeguards my credit line.

Groan.  At least they were stopped from using your card.  I hate when the order in question is the one that we placed.

Well, shucky-darn.  Couldn't have happened to a nicer ex-president insurrectionist rapist. ;)

Now I am sorry we didn't go to See's yesterday and get peanut brittle.

There's a temporary See's Candy store at Capital Mall right now.  If I was going to get anything, I'd first go to Costco to see if they have gift cards for See's for 20% less than the value.

Is it all pre-packaged items or is there a regular candy counter with individual items?

We never had food delivered to us in Oregon as we lived too far out of town for food deliveries.

Had to get a new key for the car today. My old one was falling apart. The new one cost $85. Ouch.

Ouch. Usually cars come with two keys.  Did you lose one?

The interesting thing is that Piper Laurie looks like Barbara Cook, considering both would play Carrie’s mother.

These haven't really left me all day, so here's an attempt to sketch out last night's dreams:

1 - I've gone downstairs to leave this high-rise building that's apparently one of several in this school or college in south Florida, in the Miami area. It's morning, and I see one person in the lobby, a girl who I think can either help give me directions, but she instead wants to hand me some kind of religious newspaper or some such. I don't take it, but when I get outside I see the other similar buildings and now there are college kids all around the place giving out similar papers. I decide I'll have to find my own way off the campus, which shouldn't be any real problem, and that I'll just have to walk all the way there... "there" being the part of town in Fort Lauderdale where our house and my high school were. Now it's night, and I figure I can fast-walk it and get there by morning.

2 - Then, a whole separate dream later in the night - I've arrived at whatever college this is, and have just been directed to the dorm room I've been assigned. There are people all around, including milling about my room which is like a small apartment with two bedrooms. None of these people, however, are my assigned roommate, and I want to make sure I pick the best room for myself. The building is large and round, with lots of white walls and glass with the individual units' walls at interesting angles. I pick the large bedroom, as the other one is very tiny and narrow. Then I'm walking out into the corridor to go to the lobby and Iook for someone who can give me a map showing the lobby and corridors and the location of my room, etc. I keep looking back to check where I came out of, and it becomes one of those dreams in which I rather rapidly lose my way in a large public place (which by the way rarely happens to me in real life). And then I wonder why I'm going through all of this, and I realize I could simply get a refund and leave, or even just forfeit the refund which I'm thinking was two-hundred-and-some dollars, before I get any deeper into this.

The third dream was fairly pedestrian, mostly concerning the anticipated visit from the insurance adjuster.

The End
