kyburg | Money's Back -

And now, I can pay my utility bills. Still no word on who or what they used the funds for - the bank is fronting the refund. (They have not turned the charges back.)

Which means they can take it all back if they want. *sighs* Can you tell how little trust I have left in this institution? Right.

Still no replacement card. So, no Paypal or anything normally associated with it. I don't want to look at the AMEX account, which is where a lot of incidental things have had to land since Thursday.

My house is a disaster area after having all three of us sick for a week, and then back to work without looking too closely at it. I actually wanted to treat myself to a cleaning service (and I still might) before Christmas, to get everything up to speed. I don't have dust bunnies. I have mutant dust-and-cat-hair blobs that threaten to engulf us at every turn.

No paypal button yet, folks. Hang onto to that good will - I'm 'banking' it in case of worse luck. Yes, I've had it worse than this at the holidays. I just don't like ruining a perfectly good day with the details.

More, as it develops.
