Card restored!

I didn't have to go to my assist meeting today because, Andreas, the leader of the group had some kind of family business he had to attend to and was out of the office so there was no group. I needed to get to the Credit Union to finish the replacing of my debit card since it was shut down yesterday after I reported the Uber charges that started showing up on my card. Presently I got almost 7 hours of sleep last night so I was up to the trip over to Mountain America Credit Union. This would entail two bus trips but that's okay. I got up early found out that the union opened at 9:00 a.m. so I could dally a little while getting dressed and such but I focused on getting dressed and getting ready even made some breakfast. I scavenged a plastic sack full of instant brown sugar oatmeal which was great along with a couple pieces of toast. I truly felt energized. I caught the bus just outside the apartment complex took me to the credit union there I waited for the 47 which took me over to my credit union. I think I finally got there around 9:30 a.m. There were already people, a few, in line. Eventually I was called up I told the fine young teller behind the grating used to separate Bank employees from the public that I needed to get some counter checks and replace my debit card. The kid was quite gracious, like he did this everyday, which  he probably did. Soon I had eight counter checks which I think will last me way past the first of the year. We must pay our rent with checks. It's kind of weird I hadn't done anything with checks for years before I came here. It's kind of awkward if you don't really use checks anymore but I've gotten back in the habit of keeping a few blank checks around or counter checks. I'd like to get a book of checks like I used to get especially if you can put cute little faces on it or whatever. I suppose I can still access these kind of checks but I haven't had the knowledge of her to get them or the will to actually follow through on getting them. The effort but certainly saves me from having to saddle up and take the bus to the Credit Union a couple times a year. I also took out a hundred bucks in cash because I'm sensing I'll be having my quasi cleaning woman over in a couple of weeks or days to do some cleaning on the old place. I like to pay her in cash. I was totally surprised when I got my transactions completed headed out to the bus stop to see the bus actually coming on. Just like that I was back at my neighborhood and it wasn't even 10:00 a.m. things rarely ever get that smooth for me. I still had to do a little shopping so I veered over to the market picked up a few things then came on home to enjoy the rest of my Tuesday….
