Shenanigans
Oct. 12th, 2024 01:00 pmOkay, so basically I got scammed on FB Marketplace last night and long story short my debit card/bank account got frozen because of it just in case. Cool, cool. I called the TD Helpline and they were like "we can't help you, you have to go into the branch itself and talk to someone in person" so like, more cool, cool. :|
So this morning, Mom and I were supposed to go out to the Farmer's Market at 11am to pick up my things for Dad from Hooked On Kris. We left half an hour early to go to the bank because I couldn't access my MONEY to PAY for my stuff for Dad. We got to the bank and I waited in line for 20 minutes before a teller could see me, and then it took ANOTHER HALF AN HOUR to get everything worked out. Meanwhile, Mom's just, you know, in the car chillin'.
They gave me a new bank card so I have to re-input it into all my sites (Amazon, Ebay, Thriftbooks mostly) and a new password for online banking to go with it that I have to change when I login the first time. They also changed all the protocols for me for when I next have to call in to the Helpline, new pin numbers and passwords, etc.
But FINALLY I was able to access my money again, and just to be sure I tested the new card at the ATM at the bank, so if it DIDN'T work I could be like "EXCUSE ME." It worked fine, though, and I withdrew the money for the stuff for Dad and BOOKED IT to the car and apologized to Mom PROFUSELY because it took ALMOST AN HOUR and she had somewhere to be at 12pm. ~__~;;
After that we went to the Farmer's Market and I picked up Dad's stuff (plus two keychains for him I hadn't planned on) and then I spotted the wiggly fidget toy guy and bought literally 10 little wiggly toys because I bought one from him the weekend of the Comicon and didn't get more and since then I have REGRETTED MY LIFE CHOICES. At Comicon I bought a triceratops. So today I bought an otter, a brontosaurus, a unicorn, a fox, and their special Halloween selection (a black cat, a bat, a mummy, a spider and a skeleton.) I also bought one to send to Poe, a little axolotl, that I packed into the parcel I'm mailing to them on Tuesday.
Speaking of Poe and parcels. Yesterday I paid for the shipping for the parcel with their Loops, etc, and I've got it all packed up and ready to go for pickup on Thursday (between 8:30am and 12:30pm, theoretically), and I am just CROSSING MY FINGERS that this one goes better than the last one did. The last one was like, DROP-KICKED across the pond, and when it got to Poe half the stuff was missing or broken. I fought for MONTHS to get my money back on that one, but I did finally manage it. Still, I'm REALLY hoping things go better this time around.
I know, I know, Poe and I aren't speaking anymore. Or, technically, aren't speaking ON A REGULAR BASIS anymore, though they seem to have taken that to mean they should ghost me entirely again. But I promised a while back that I would send them the Loops and there were a small handful of other things I wanted to send them as well (a mug, an axolotl plush, a button, a nonbinary cabbage dog, some chocolate and now an axolotl fidget toy) so I'm still doing it. It cost me $127 though, and that was on the cheap site. =/
In the new year I also need to send them their Werewolf from the Snughouls campaign, and around Christmas I want to send them a book and a Birthmas card. I just... they'll always be my friend, okay? Even if it's not reciprocated. I just hope they're happier without me in their life, because if they're not then it was all for nothing.
.....
Oh, also Mom and I got my aquarium gravel cleaner put together so I can (hopefully) use it to clean the floor of Kaida's aquarium, since the tank is too tall for me to reach all the way to the bottom on my own. Just. Trying to problem solve, here, people.
Anyway, so yeah that was my day so far and now I have to go set up my online banking again and fuck me if I want to actually do it. I'm so tired I just want to sleep but I can't I still have stuff to do.
