STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!

 I have been so rattled this morning hearing about what's happening to the government and the possibility of our SS money and other things being canceled all sense and logic left my brain.

I really needed something to feel good about and saw a post about a supposed survey with McCormick spices and did a little bingo card thing where I 'won' a gift pack of spices for $14.95. I say 'supposed' and 'won' because another post showed up from a different person saying their 'son' works at McCormick and they were having a 'gift' promotion of their spices and packets of mixes. Yep, check for scam posts and they tried to charge me $69.99 plus the $14.95. I called the bank ASAP but before that I tried to change my password online and screwed it up too many times so I was locked out. Finally got hold of someone, (Eva thank you for being excellent customer service).
She looked at my account and said they automatically declined the $69.99 but I'm still out the 14.95. They are sending me a brand new card so now I have to go through all my utilities and other accounts and delay payments and wait for the new one to arrive in about 5 days.
STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!


 I know better than this but all the crap about the hostile government take over has me completely in a mental breakdown feeling. I'm feeling helpless and scared, anxious and angry about how the election was truly stolen this time and no one can go after the culprits because there's no 'hard' or even made up evidence otherwise.

At least we had a good lunch of Salsa Verde Shrimp with rice. Fridge and cupboards are restocked but still have to go back to the store for waters. We can't leave though because I'm expecting a shipment sometime someday of some silicon tips for my ipad pencil. They tried to deliver by USPS yesterday but 'failed due to door/driveway access blocked' In other words, they tried to buzz our door but we weren't home. I have to call USPS to find out where it is and when it will be delivered.


And then there's a collection agency that's emailing me every day about a stupid debit (credit card) I had a few years ago. The one that had no chip in it and you could only pay bills with it if you went through the their website and entered it. I owe like $217 still on that and they're hounding me about doing an 'easy payment' of only the full amount of half that. Money I don't have of course so they will have to just keep sending me emails until they kick it back to Synovous bank where the card was based.

I suppose I was overdue for some monetary karma.
