I am on the phone trying to get a copy of the plastic rectangle with our HSA money on it. It is going very slowly. Yes, just a second card. Because we are two people who are not always in the same place at the same time. Telling me when the card was sent is not useful, because it's already here. I just want another one. Not a new one, just another one. Yes, in my name. Because I am a separate person.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

I think I've collected too many Lego™-ish tanks.
I have a Britsh Matilda II, Cromwell, Churchill, Mark I Heavy, and Grant (American M3 used by the Britsh); an American M1A1 Abrams, and M4A1 Sherman; a Soviet T34/85 and KV-1; a German Tiger, Panther, Stug III, and Panzer IV; a French FT-17 and Somua S-35; and a Czech Skoda LT-38 (a very cute tank). It's time to stop... unless they come out with a French Char-B1 Bis, because I would have to have a Char-B1 Bis.

I tried signing up for USPS informed delivery, but apparently I already have a USPS account. I don't remember the password, and I have forgotten the secret question answer to what my favorite food was when I signed up. USPS tells me I need to create a new account if I can't remember my answers, but when I try to create a new account, it tells me I have to sign in with my existing account.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oy.
I have the weirdest little migraine. Like, I don't even have a headache, just weird eyes. And not that bad! But enough that I don't feel like being here anymore on a Friday afternoon.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I have forgotten the secret question answer to what my favorite food was when I signed up.
Funyuns.

muffaletta?
I hate secret questions that you can't decide on yourself. Like, I don't remember who my first grade teacher was, or whatever. So I end up adding the information about the secret questions to my little file on my laptop where I keep all my login information. This is not totally secure. SIGH.

I think what you're supposed to do is make up answers anyway. Of course, then you have to remember them, but if you just put muffaletta for your first grade teacher, mother's maiden name, etc., that would be easier?
I don't know. I always get stuck when all the questions seem to be about your car and your spouse.

If you put Tony Stark for your first grade teacher but everyone knows it's Mrs. Keener, because everyone in your area of your generation had Mrs. Keener, that's secure.

True, but then you have to remember you named Tony Stark and not Bruce Banner. And was it Tony, or TStark, or Mr. Stark, or whatever? SIGH.
