I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Our day is centered around getting small plastic cards.

Matilda has lost her student Clipper card for getting around on Muni for free so I'm hauling her downtown with her birth cert and school ID to get her a new one.

Then I'm leaving her with JZ as I scamper to the bank and try to replace my compromised debit card.

Little plastic rectangles rule my life.

Also, the contractors are working on the back porch (just outside my nerdhole) with power tools. So....I want to get away from that.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Why do we have to work again? I feel like I know the answer, but it isn't coming to me.

Because we weren't hatched from eggs wrapped in hundred-dollar bills.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because we weren't hatched from eggs wrapped in hundred-dollar bills.

Dammit!

One of the main stories around my birth is that my mother woke up in labor that morning, but they waited to go to the hospital until the bank was open, because they didn't have any cash. (Why they thought they would need cash to arrive at the hospital is lost to history.)

But speaking of plastic rectangles and dollar bills.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Got it msbelle. It's the zoom setting, in View. Back to you.

Because we weren't hatched from eggs wrapped in hundred-dollar bills.

Note to self - look through all potential Next Lives until you find this one before coming back.

ARGH PLASTIC RECTANGLES!!! Just in general. I hope your acquisition and straightening out of same goes smoothly, Hec.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I had to cancel my plastic rectangle yesterday for fraud.

I honestly would be pretty screwed without my plastic rectangles, but I think that's why I resent them so much? Except for my Clipper card, I'm still kind of in a honeymoon stage with it. Not needing exact change for the bus is wonderful.

Mine seems to have gotten sorted out, and now I'm just waiting for my new plastic rectangle to show up in the mail. I had to write a check to my therapist yesterday. That was weird.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I had to cancel my plastic rectangle yesterday for fraud.

So did I. Someone tried to charge $5100+ on one of my credit cards. Nordstrom Rack was on top of it and cancelled the order, but damn. And, as of this morning, I have more than 10,000 registration bot emails sitting in my spam folder. Evidently the bad guys flood you and hope you miss the order confirmation email. Too bad for them I'm staying on top of it.
