Nope, definitely not my day. Got up at 4 am and headed to the city with my boys (my three girls were all spending the night at friends' houses). Shipped a critter, went to the bank, met up with customers to get their critters, went to K-mart, met up with another customer to get her critter. Went to the fabric store to get the last things for my older son's Aladdin costume for Halloween (and plenty of other great on sale stuff), went out to lunch for Chinese food, went to Target and dropped off my youngest daughter's prescription to be filled, and when I went to grab her pharmacy card, I realized my bank card was not in its slot in the front of my wallet!
Aaack! I am pretty sure I left it in the ATM. Of course, it was after hours for any bank to be open and I didn't have a number. But, I also have a credit card with the same bank so I called that number, waded through umpteen million phone menus (did I mention I truly hate those?), started pressing 0 indiscriminately, and eventually got a human being who transferred me over to the department that handles lost ATM cards. Thankfully, I was savvy enough today to ask him for the number before he transferred me because I did get cut off (after getting transferred and going through 2 menus), so I called back, got put on hold for about 20 minutes, and finally got an extremely helpful young lady who assured me nothing had been charged on my card, and that she was shutting it off and sending me a new one,. Whew!!
Then, we went to PetsMart and got crickets, chinchilla food, and anti-fungal stuff for the goldfish tank (we have a white goldfish larger than my hand and every once and a while he gets septicemia). Stopped to pat the adoptable greyhounds along the way; one took a shine to my son and crawled all in his lap as he squatted down. Too cute; I love greyhounds.
My oldest daughter called to say she'd gotten home when we were about an hour out. She was in a foul mood. Tweens can be so delightful (not!). I was exhausted by the time we got home so I lay down for a nap and was almost asleep when my next critter customer came and I had to get up and get their baby for them. By that time, I knew I couldn't sleep, but was cranky as hell. I knew I wouldn't be good company so I texted my friend who was having a 20th anniversary party and told her I wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be coming, and that I hoped the party went great.
I spent my evening sorting out pattern pieces, cutting out pattern pieces, and sewing/ripping apart/sewing/ripping apart/sewing/ripping apart... you get the idea... my son's orange satin Aladdin pants and his very multicolored, metallic vest. Tomorrow I tackle the shoe covers (complete with those curled up toes), hat, and cummerbund. And then start in on my middle daughter's evil tooth fairy idea. I should be able to be done by Halloween; only two weeks to go!
