The weather guessers finally got it right. It wasn't a gully washer, but at 4:00 this morning some rain fell from the sky. NICE!! Although just enough to make it muddy everywhere, it's late this year and much needed.
Yesterday could have been better. On Thursday I got the dreaded DING: Did you just purchase a moneygram for $108.00? Nope!
DING: Did you just purchase a moneygram for $700.00?
DING: $55.25 was charged for the PURCHASE of said moneygrams!!
No, NO and NOOOOO! I called the bank. Sure enough, someone in Dallas Texas was purchasing moneygrams right and left to send to Mexico .... on MY dime! How in the world they got my card number is beyond me. I haven't used it in over two months, nor have I been hacked on my phone or my computer, neither of which have that card number IN them anyway.
The only thing I can think of is I used it at Phil's Fish Market for that clam chowder. Guess I won't be doing THAT again! Now I wait four days for the new card to be delivered. The worst part ... I just FINALLY memorized that card number and now I have to start all over again! DARN THIEVES!!!
Thankfully, the rest of the day was uneventful, though apparently they tried three more times. By then, the card had been cancelled. I'll have to keep checking to be sure they don't stick their fingers into anything else.
With nothing else to do, I whipped up some spaghetti with meat sauce for the freezer and found two lone potatoes hiding in the drawer.
Not wanting to be wasteful, I forced myself to make not one, but TWO small casseroles of you-guessed-it ... scalloped potatoes. They too will go in the freezer ... okay, so ONE will go in the freezer because I'm eating the second one.
The only other constructive thing I did all day was hang up this folding bag in the rig. I took your advice and attached a ring to it, which fits perfectly over the hook. I love those command strip hooks.
Oh I did some exciting things like the laundry, but only because I forgot that load of sheets in the washer the day before, and had to not only rewash everything, but sanitize the washing machine. I hate it when I do that.
The rest of the evening was spent cuddling with Cooper. It's my favorite pastime ... and you know once you sit down, you are not allowed up for at least two hours. It's the rules!!
OH DARN ... it's supposed to rain most of the morning and into the afternoon, so I guess all that outside work I was going to do has to be put off to another day. Coop and Jonathan think that is just fine!! And lucky me .... I actually get TWO days off with absolutely NOTHING on my schedule!! Woohoo!!
Here's to a wonderful weekend for everyone!!!
Sorry someone used your card number and you have to deal with that. I don't like thieves either !

I worry about those credit cards too...so far, we have been fine. I always hold one credit card back that we never use but always carry just in case. I use Discover for nearly all in person purchases and online purchases except for Amazon. Try to use cash whenever I am in a spot that I trust running my card. I HATE it when you are at a restaurant and they take your card to pay the bill...now days, they ALL should have the ability to scan the card at the table and hand it back to you. When they do have to take, I always ask what their name is as I give them the card, and then write the name into a note on my phone.
ReplyDeleteIf thieves spent that much effort doing legal things they would be just as rich.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know you were eating the ‘second’ casserole and not the first? Lol.

Nothing worse than a getting a charge you didn't make on a credit card. I got charged 55.00 for false eyelashes one time. Lol
ReplyDeleteNo trick or treaters here...we did get some rain yay!
Happy Saturday!
