I'm surprised they didn't call you about the charge in the first place! I get called more and more frequently when there is anything unusual on my cards. I always thank them for checking!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yeah, and it's a huge charge. I was a little surprised that they didn't call me.

Well, they figured jet setter Teppy was always charging 4 grand plane tickets, right?

Teppy, maybe they bought gift cards or something? Because yeah, charging plane tickets sounds weird.

Today amazon delivered my package to the normal place, on my front porch. Still weirded by yesterday's delivery to the alley behind the house, stuck between my neighbor's car and the garage? That is (a) not my house and (b) in no way secure! (There are no house numbers on that side!)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've got a cold for the 3rd time in 6 months. That is so not on. Hrmph.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

A (relatively) quiet Sunday here.

Ugh, getting your card number hijacked is so annoying. Sorry you have to deal with it, Steph.

Likewise recurrent colds, aurelia.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Dear airline, I am waiting on a plane from San Diego to LAX. I can very nearly see the other end of the route. Why can you not manage to get a damn plan here to get me to there?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Happy New Year from Australia, everyone!

Bring on 2019.

Flurry of activity yesterday. Tesla made the employees a great offer to purchase the self-driving variety of models to be test drivers and my son (with parental assistance) bought one yesterday. The painful part was only that he was underwater on what he owed on his Jetta that he traded in. He'll save about $250 a month in fuel costs and he gets free charging at work so that is very cool. As is his blue Model 3.

Had a delightful dinner in Fort Lauderdale last night with Pix and ND. Well, the dinner was okay, but the company was delightful. Saw a bunch of fish including tarpon, but missed the manatees. DH saw a mamma manatee and baby but the rest of us missed them.

My sister is getting eyelid surgery this morning. My mother and other sister also had it. The whole family has super puffy eyelids which obstruct vision, and make eye makeup impossible. I get why they all had it fixed, but I am way too chicken shit to ever agree to surgery that isn't required. The foot surgery for my bunion was a horror and they didn't give me a choice on the appendix, but asking for it when I am not in pain, not happening.
