I am cancelling all future Mondays until further notice. Do not expect said notice to come anytime soon!
Why am I so anti-Monday you ask?
Because yesterday was so horrid it has rolled over into today and I can't really go on strike, so I feel the need to come here and share the love with you all.
Sunday night at 7pm our transformer blew as we ate dinner. I will spare you all the interim details but it was 7:05am Monday morning before electricity was restored. We were actually very grateful it was at night and thus not did not greatly interfere with our Webkinz World computer time... SO, Monday morning we woke up, regained our power, found Princess L to be on day two of a fever accompanied by a HUGE case of the grumpies, and Princess M to have an onset of some rash in her hairline causing her to scratch like she has the cooties. This was all before 7:30am. The day rolled on mostly uneventfully until I picked up the mail. This is where it all went south, quickly. Imagine my surprise and glee to find not one but two new credit cards. The only not so minor problem, I had not applied for nor did I want either. That's right, my identity had been stolen. After having spent the better part of last evening and this morning on the phone with credit bureaus and fraud specialists, it appears my financial life is sealed up like Ft Knox, then again I didn't think I was careless before. It blows my mind how easily someone accessed and used my personal information to gain credit fraudulently... Apparently, it went all the more smoothly for them because I have such good credit. Comforting thought isn't it? If I had just been a little more reckless with my spending over the last twenty years, the crooks would have had a tougher time.
Wait, it's not over yet. This morning while I was taking a break from informing all of those I do business with to require a DNA sample from both me and my firstborn before extending any further credit in my name, I decided to fill out my California primary ballot. I received an absentee ballot because apparently due to low enrollment in my area there is no actual polling place for me to go next Tuesday. I am not making this up, it was on the letter... It's so comforting to know that I am in the minority of people who actually vote... Anyway, after reading the ballot for 45 minutes, I decided maybe so few people vote in the primary because California makes it too complicated. Finally, I figured it all out and completed my ballot. I left it sitting next to me on the computer while I finished my calls. The next thing I knew, my darling, ever-so-helpful Princess L had proceeded to shove it in the shredder sitting next to my desk. She knows how to do this because she helps me shred all of the address labels on every piece of mail we receive everyday. No, I am not exaggerating. We do this everyday, because we wouldn't want to be the victims of identity theft. Are you feeling the irony yet? So, now that my karma is apparently in the crapper (and yes, that is the most family friendly word I could come up with at this point!) I have to decide whether it is worth the risk to head out next week and try to find an actual polling location that will accept my vote? Currently, I feel like my vote could put a jinx on my candidate of choice and since you all know I am a staunch Republican, we don't need any more obstacles to overcome.
I believe I am through venting. I am getting ready to take a drive down to Big Sur to look for gray whales. Luck may not be with me, but my new camera will, just in case.
P.S. Protect your credit!
P.P.S. GO MITT!

Wow... and I thought I had a bad Monday morning. It pales in comparison to yours!

Hope yesterday was better than Monday. Love the 'day in the life' posts. There really is no way you can make that stuff up. Glad to hear that the credit thing was a sort of easy fix... and didn't turn out to be a huge horror story.
Glad to know we are not alone. We were victime in November. Someone charged $3K to our debit card in Paris and our bank was on it in 15 minutes. Luckily we had just used the card at a potter painting shop. As for the rest of your Monday - that too shall pass.... Hope you have a better Monday tomorrow.
