A little while ago, I made a post about how I'd destroyed my credit card, and instead of the bank just doing a direct replacement, they decided the card as stolen, causing all my automatic bills to fail.  A few days later, more to the little story was added though it was a little to embarrassing for me to mention at the time...  Until now -

So, about two weeks ago, I received the new credit card.  And promptly lost it not more than a day later.  I used it in one ATM, wrapped it up in the little receipt, and put it in my pocket.  When I got home, I took it out, removed the receipt and added it to my other slips (which is how I know the card itself got home), and promptly vanished the card.

I went searching everywhere.  I looked through nooks, crannies, between books, the bathroom, under my bed, in my fridge, and I even dug in all my trash bins a good long while, all to no avail.  Until about ten minutes ago, when I found it at the bottom of the washing machine in absolutely perfect condition.

But the disturbing thing is, I've done at least five or six loads of laundry since it went missing...

Anyhow, in other news:  Our heatwave seems to be abating, leaving me with a desire to actually use my computer/space heater again.  I should be back to posting more regularly, and hopefully, about more interesting happenings.

There hasn't really been much of anything going on lately, and while I'd like to actually go out and find something interesting to talk about, there is a freak heat wave hitting our area.  Coupled with the fact that I have no air conditioning at my house, I'm really having a hard time doing much more than melting out along my living room floor, or, occasionally finding my way into the shower.

It's been affecting this area for about a week now, and hopefully it will start to cool off so that I can actually resume doing things.  As it is, I've pretty muchly resigned myself to playing SMT: Digital Devil Saga as a good sprawling-on-the-floor activity.

And as far as keeping up with the happenings of the internet world, well, having my computer on only adds to the heat of my house, so I've been trying to avoid it as much as possible.  That, and I'm expecting any second for either my computer to overheat and die, or the power grid of the neighborhood to drop from AC consumption like it does every year.
