susandennisSomeone got to my Discover Card. $200+ at J.Jill. At least she has taste. My mother would approve. She loved J.Jill. I never bought a thing there in my life. She also, it looks like, tried to open a Netflix account - but was rejected. Ha.
So that means I have to get a new card, a new account, and then go into my mortgages, sprint, comcast, amazon, hell, even woot and probably a million more places and change the info. What a PIA. Plus, now I am cardless until Tuesday.
I knew I was going to have to do it all next year when the card expired. So I do it a year early And it's probably good to refresh all that shit but still I'd rather have picked the time myself rather than have some preppy looking bitch pick it for me.
I also realized while in Canada that I need a working Visa card. My bank does MasterCard and my debit card is MasterCard but Canada does not, apparently, like either Discover or MasterCard. I'd been thinking about getting one of the Amazon Visa's anyway - as a backup.
So I did. This also, happily, fixed the other urgent issue of the day... Audible.Com tried to put through their monthly bill apparently minutes after Discover shut down my card. Sigh. But, Amazon gave me instant approval and - since Amazon id Audible's daddy, I was able to just go to that account and see my new Amazon card and click on 'use this card instead'.
BUT, apparently, there is no way to get the full number of the Amazon card until they actually send me the card in the snail mail and who knows when that will be. So I can't use it for anything else.
The next shoe to drop is Comcast but it won't drop til next week so I should have time to get everything sorted.
--------------
Swimming was great. I stayed after and worked on some balance exercises. I wanted to track down this Discover thing in the quiet of my living room so I came right home after. This turned out to be good thinking because there is a University game in the stadium and if I had gotten here an hour later, I'd have had a big fight through people and cars.
Now I'm safely ensconced in my house and have plenty of good things to eat, a TiVo full, a fan that is keeping me cool and no one that is after me to do anything.
Life is good - except for credit card annoyances and they, of course, could be way worse...
