askye at 10:12pm on 20/12/2004Right now I could be in a total meltdown. But I'm not.
Reasons for possible meltdown:
I Can't find my checks or my debit card. they are both around here somewhere but my debit card's been awol since last weekend. I know it wasn't stolen because I remember leaving it in the house some place and not taking it out anywhere.
The bank will be closed on Friday. I'm on direct deposit so I'm not sure if the money will be to me on Thursday or Friday as usual. If it's Friday then I don't have a way to get the money out of the bank.
A year ago I would be in a blind panic. Actually I'd probably been in a blind panic three days ago. But still blind panic. Maybe even some hysterics. Six months ago totally freaking out.
Today. Annoyed, concerned, but no panic. I have a plan. I get the paperwork to authorize a transfer, get Dad to fill it out and turn it back in so I can transfer my money from my account to Dad's so he can get it to me. Or if that won't take effect right away order a new debit card. WHich I don't want to do becuase I just had to replace one and it costs money but if that's my only choice.
Also tomorrow is a retirement party for someone. I was told Friday afternoon to start collecting money for it. I got almost enough money to have a nice party. Made a breakfast casserole (we're doing a brunch type thing). Should have made double like I planned, but before it cooked it looked like it was going to be enough. I'm tempted to run to the store and get more milk (I was stupid and didn't get enough). But it would take another 30 mins or so to mix up and then it has to cook for 45 mins. Actually it's supposed to be refrigerated over night but I just put it in there for an hour or so . I really should have made two.
But we'll have that, fruit salad, and soem sandwich platters and cake.
Ack! Now I have to go to bed.

It's good that your aren't in a frenzy and that you are making contingency place.
