Auntie Em

For several years I have been able to talk, walk, drive, balance my checkbook, and a lot of other things - all by myself. So I'm glad I am taking the month of October off from work. I will be able to "get myself together", so to speak.

I did not realize how much I used my ATM card until it was gone. I NEVER carry cash. Or at least, I never did until the card went MIA. The very nice lady at the credit union asked, what I thought was a totally interesting question, "Where did you lose your card?" That in itself seems harmless, right? But doesn't it stand to reason, if I knew WHERE my card was lost, I'd go get it and bring it home? I don't know; it must be just me.

The process to getting another card is tantamount to moving to a third world country, buying a national building to tear it down and building a McDonalds, or some such activity. That isn't even counting how long it will take or the mess you go through while you DON'T have a card. I have noticed though that I have more money in my account than I usually do this time of the month. Could it be I can't spend it so easily thus leaving it in the account?

Really, Auntie Em, we truly are not in Kansas anymore!
