Loan Me Your Pillow?

I am now in the process of collecting pillows. I need them in order to ensure that I live until Michael gets home from Korea. In fact, go ahead and send your down comforters while you’re at it, so B can live until Michael gets home.

B has had an ongoing issue with his knee that he managed to hurt while playing football. No, that’s not right. He was wrestling, No, kayaking. No, get this, he was walking. Where is this treacherous landscape you might ask? After all you wouldn’t want to find yourself in the same predicament of knee braces, Percocet and MRI’s. Don’t worry you need special access known as a key to my house. The boy was walking in the living room- the clean living room with nothing, AT ALL, on the floor. Now, just 3 days shy of it being a month since this all started, we are waiting for the MRI appointment next week. It’s a good thing he’s not in gymnastics anymore because he is getting a bit clumsy in his old age.

As for me, it’s just been one of those days. I woke up late. Not real late, but I am a schedule type of person, and everything was being done at the wrong time. Then work was busy before we had any cashiers, so I was cashier while I was supposed to be making a deposit, and then I came across a traveler’s check that the customer made out to himself instead of our store, so that is a $100 short. These are all things that happen when I have a slightly bad day at work, not too bad, but then I try to eat lunch, and my credit card is declined. This wouldn’t be too bad except that in an effort to carry as little as possible with me to work I have my credit card, an id and some change with me. I spend the next 20 minutes on the phone with my bank learning that someone has gotten hold of my credit card number. Apparently, while Michael was sleeping in Korea and I was working on making sure the store didn’t lose money, someone was trying to make sure WE did lose money by racking up charges online. Since they were all for $39.99 this put up a red flag for the bank, and they put a hold on the card. Now, we are waiting for a new card. Not so bad for me. I’m here. Not so great for Michael he won’t get his new card for a while.

This is on the heels of spending the last 5 days trying to get my toilet fixed. So, I’m collecting pillows. I need something to put around me and B, for when the roof falls on my head because at the rate we’re going, it’s going to be soon!
