Frustrated

I started my new morning routine this morning and it worked out ok, I think. I left for the pool just after 6:30 and that worked out fine. After my swim I stopped at the grocery and two ATMs, hit a little bit of traffic and still managed to get home by 8:30. Score!

My checking and savings accounts are at BECU. They used to have a killer deposit by phone app. Now it's very likely their deposit by phone app is going to kill me! It rarely works and I get pissed off at a magnitude way out of proportion to the situation. And their ATM locator map is created with very bad code making it nearly impossible to use. AND when I finally was able to use it this morning it fucking lied to me. The ATM at the 7/11 near the pool does NOT take deposits.

So I've been googling banks for the past hour. But it is a major PIA to change banks and any one of them could piss me off for this or any one of 25 other reasons. GRRRRRRR I'm toying with the idea of opening an account at Ally Bank just to have in my pocket for next month when BECU pisses me off, yet again.

My eyes are still hung up at the post office but the new order is out for delivery so whew.

I think I'm going to make up some breakfast burritos for the freezer this morning. Oh and I need to charge up the swimming iPod and do some swizzling of the music.

Big day ahead.

For venta

For me, breakfast burritos are eggs and Must Go. Whatever's getting some age on in the fridge and Must Go. If no bacon, then salt and/or some kind of a little hot sauce. Sometimes onions, sometimes ham, sometimes cheddar, sometimes ... you get the idea.

Today's was pretty simple






4 eggs
handful of bacon bits
generous handful of grated cheese
4 10" flour tortillas

Joke's on me

My phone got a major update today to the BECU app and it specifically listed the deposit function as being fixed! So I went to find my checkbook to write myself a test check. Checkbook??? MIA. Extra checks? Apparently they left with the checkbook. FML

I had one very sad old folded check in my purse so I used that and, no joy. One of the other major updates to the app was their new feedback button. It, oddly enough, works just fine and I blistered out a small missive about my feelings.

I'm doe with this. I opened an Ally Bank account. I'll use it to deposit the checks and send them over to BECU when BECU doesn't work. It's probably good to have a backup anyway.

And I ordered new checks. That's $8 I didn't need to spend. I'm sure now that I have, those fucking checks will surface before next week.

I have been eating everything that isn't nailed down. If I didn't have such an aversion to cat hair in my mouth, Zoey would need to be worried. Today I decided to see if I could curb my enthusiasm. Smoking cigarettes would come in so handy for this. Sigh. I've done fairly well. I've had one piece of chocolate instead of 5. I had a dill pickle (counting as vegetable) instead of chips, crackers, or goldfish. And I have resisted putting anything in my mouth several times.

What happens is that I'm back sewing and I need to get up and move a little bit to save my back. Oh, ok, I'll go get a snack.

It's now close enough to dinner that I could be through the worst of it. I hope.



It's hard to see her pearl earrings cause they are the same color as the blanket but they are very classy.
