Sick Happy

[thessalian]

Still ill. Everything that enters my stomach turns me into a miserable ball of queasiness. And none of this was helped by the fact that my bank is entirely staffed by arseholes.

My bank card stopped working on Monday. This happens occasionally, generally due to server crash or something, I suppose, so I tried it on Tuesday. It still did not work, so today I went to the bank to find out why. It turned out that the order to replace my damn card after it got eaten the other month went through at least twice, and then my card got upgraded, so the card I got issued first was now cancelled because there were not one, but two new ones sitting at my bank branch.

Unfortunately, my branch is in Belsize Park. Cue public transport trip from Hades and two very confused tellers waving various of my bank cards and trying to work out which the hell one would actually work.

Turns out it's the upgraded one. Which at least means that I can book my plane tickets next week (payday). Now all I need to do is get my passport renewed. I've got it pretty well itinerised (is that a word?): a week in Missouri - has to be seven days minimum to get the seven-day advance discount on my Greyhound ticket, I think, depending on whether the Greyhound site takes Maestro. Then about a week in New York. I will update all those involved on proper itinerary (like, when I'm landing etc) when everything's booked. I'm going on holiday!

Well, at least I have something to be happy about...
