I really wanted to title this "FIGHTING" Friday but I'm trying to be positive. I woke up to a phone call informing me my bank card was blocked due to fraud. As today is payday, I had planned to buy a few things online but now I can't because it will take a week to get a new card. One of those items is a zipper I need to replace in a coat for a customer. That person will be unhappy with the delay, but I can't help it. Our local Jo Ann's has filed bankruptcy and never has the zipper size I need, so I'm forced to buy online.
Last night the electrical outlet for the stove started buzzing. Dh tried to replace it, but had problems. He unplugged the stove and we cannot use it or the counter outlets until we figure out if it's the wiring or if we need another new outlet. He has to work very late tonight, so he won't get to it until tomorrow. So, all the cooking I planned to do today is out as is running the dishwasher. I'm just glad the microwave and fridge are on a different circuit!
I have a load of laundry to fold and put away, and I still need to shower and dress. At least it's a beautiful, sunny day!

I'm so sorry all that is happening to you. There isn't a way you can pick up the new card in person at the bank? I know with our local bank we can go in to pick up a new one. So far I've taken meds, fed a two week old puppy whom has a mild upper respiratory infection so I'm taking care of it, swept the floors, and washed dishes. I have conference prayer in a few minutes. Wednesday dh had back pain from lifting wrong I guess and yesterday it rained all day so we haven't worked on getting the rv cleared out. So this afternoon we'll work on that.

Sorry to be so late coming in. Went to the hospital to see my friend again this morning to take her a card and a small gift, and she let me know she would like a crossword puzzle book to help pass the time as it appears she will be there awhile. So I went to Wally world and got her one. Can't get much done as it is the youngest's day off, but the bed is made, quiet time done, cat fed and dishes washed.

Very frustrating, Rebekah. I actually got a prepaid, reloadable card. I hate that I have to pay fees on it, but there is one vendor I use for work and I KNOW they compromised my debit card. It was the only place I had used it. It had to be them. So now, I use the prepaid card with them and only load it the amount I will need. Or, could you open a fee free checking account and only transfer in what you know you'll spend?
Gina, it has rained here all day. Merrliee, can you walk to the hospital, or did you take the bus?
Today was an interesting day on several levels. I decided to only focus on ta-dahs today and not worry about to-dos. I set aside a few books to sell and took a trunk full of stuff to the thrift shop. I taught four lessons and did a pile o' parent emails today.
DS3 made dinner. Then he, DH, DS2 and I are going to the movies. Except... I can hear that DH is still on the phone working out there. We shall see.
