Worries

It was a weekend of watching the hurricane hit the Florida coast and being worried about Christien's step-father in Naples. I didn't wanted to bother her with phone calls but since she has not phoned, I have a feeling that he has been able to contact her. The pictures coming out the area are horrible but he was about 10-miles inland.

I slept a lot during the day but I had received a weird email that made me worry that we had been hit in that credit company ID theft. Seeing a phone number at the bottom of the email, I phoned and found that there was a reason for the odd email. But, I tried to call Lifelock, which helped so much many years ago when we had ID theft. They can lock our accounts down so no one can get new credit cards or mortgage our house or anything else. Just to be safe. Well, the wait time was 64 minutes. I waited and at 56 minutes, I was disconnected. One would think they would have been prepared for their customer to reach out to them as well as new scared customers wanting to sign up. Other companies dealing with a lot of calls will kick in a system where the phone number is noted and they return your call. That is nice. But, to be hung up on was just not okay.

Thinking no more about it all until about 11PM Saturday night when I suddenly awoke in a panic. Was it a scam? Did I phone the scammers? I tried Lifelock again. Nope, still a wait time of 64 minutes. I hung up. I began to search phone numbers and studied the email and went on the web and I finally felt that it was a real company and I was okay. By that time, it was close to 2AM. While online, Michael's night owl sister Anna messaged me through Facebook and we chatted. She was shocked to find me awake!

So, Sunday I was exhausted. I slept for over an hour and felt better. It was so hot and muggy here that I had a bit of a hard time breathing again. More fans really helped! I was able to recycle about a dozen old shoeboxes and tossed eight pairs of worn out shoes to make room for the new sandals and ankle boots that arrived on Friday. At least I got one chore done!

Today, mom and I are shopping. Clothes shopping for a couple of new tops and maybe a light structured jacket. And, lunch!
