the first one included emptying a shelf in the corner cupboard and moving “paper towels” and kitchen towels into a new drawer… this will make it much easier to find what I need as it had been stacked haphazardly in the cupboard, lol…
now to think about what should go in that empty space🤪…
the second one was great fun as I moved art supplies from a number of places into one space… now to keep it tidy…
while preparing for my trip and dealing with the concern that my credit card had been compromised, I had contacted my credit union to get information on amounts that could be charged using debit… they were very helpful in providing what I needed to know and also said they could produce a card through their system… for years, I’ve only had one card which is used for all purchases… so an issue like this was a fairly big deal, lol…
once home from my trip, I contacted the credit union and applied for one of their credit cards…
the person on the phone filled out all the required paperwork and advised within a few hours that I’d been approved for the card…
they were so helpful, easy to talk to, and described things clearly…
in August, a charge was made on my credit card from Amazon Kids+ for under $12, which apparently was for a subscription…
neither I, nor my housemate, had made such a purchase, so I called the credit card people who advised that I could not dispute the charge until it moved from pending to posted…
no matter how I explained that we hadn’t made such a purchase, they seemed focused on refuting the claim…
for me it was more about whether someone was phishing to see if my card worked😳…
I advised I was going to be away and wanted to know what to do about the card… eventually I gave up talking with them… this is the first time I found them less than helpful…
I went to the actual bank my card is connected to, which was very busy… who knew so many people actually went into the bank in the middle of the week👀…
eventually I spoke with a great staff person who was able to help figure out what to do…
so, for the time being, I had to lock my card and then unlock it when I needed to pay for something and then lock it again… rather stressful😣…
I contacted Amazon and was told someone else was using my card, so I should speak to my bank and cancel the card…
I called the bank and, after repeating the same information to two different people, they finally cancelled the card and put another in the mail…
it would make sense to have a spreadsheet with all the places that take money out automatically… guess that will be my next project🥺…
