That's good news, except for all of the irritating parts.

Yeah—I think they’re still saying someone walked in and withdrew money, but they’re claiming the teller who did that withdrawal fucked up. Not 100% sure I believe (aren’t there double checks??) but I’d also believe if it was a thieving teller they probably wouldn’t tell me?

Approve of cake choice. But, really, there wasn't one I wouldn't have liked.
lisah, ouch! Heal well.
Steph, that sounds heavenly.
meara, I'm glad it's resolved, but yikes.
Laura, lake kayaking and relaxing sound fab.
I kind of want to schedule a massage for this weekend now. Hmmm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, but they originally told you that someone walked into a brick-and-mortar brnach and withdrew the money. So either the mythical person who made the withdrawal or the mythical teller who typed the wrong number (or both) is a lie. That wouldn't fill me with confidence about their continued ability to be your bank.
I think those fit together? Someone walked into a branch to withdraw money from their own account, and the teller took it from the wrong account by accident. Anyway.

Our wings are not tired.
claimed it was a teller error and they’d typed the wrong account number.
Wow! Maybe they watched the tape and saw which customer it was and they have a similar account number? Bad handwriting on the part of the customer on the withdrawal slip?

Remembering back to when I was a teller for Wells Fargo...that's plausible. At least back then it was just a manual check that the name on the account matches the person doing the withdrawing, and it would be easy to not pay attention to that if the money is there and everyone was in a hurry (and everyone is always in a hurry, right?). It's that interface between what's in the records and who is physically in the bank that's the weakness. Glad wasn't something more nefarious, meara, but argh at all the unnecessary inconvenience and worry for you! They should do something super nice for you to make up for it but I don't even know what a bank could do for you other than give you some money and that seems like an unlikely outcome.
Tep in VT sounds so fab!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Yep -- Tim's cousin is getting married in Vermont, and since (1) we didn't take a vacation (or really any time off) last year, and (2) our wedding anniversary is next week, we decided to turn the trip into a weeklong vacation. I had lofty plans of lots of challenging hikes, and those plans turned into "short lazy hike on the flattest ground possible while still being on a trail" followed by "anniversary couples' massage and/or fuck it, maybe a whole spa day because we are both so goddamn burned out." And probably just loafing around the shore of Lake Champlain. Also hot cider donuts, Ben & Jerry's, and a maple soft-serve that is the most amazing ice cream product I've ever eaten. And then at the end of the week, 2 days of Beckmeyer shenanigans. There are many, many family members who haven't seen how I enthusiastically dance really, really badly at weddings.
NICE!! You go, Girl! (Go and chill and relax and enjoy yourself!)
