Too much fighting, today...

I'm not very well-balanced in my mental or emotional makeup. I can be doing great with everything then one simple problem throws it all off. Today, it was several.

First, dealing with PayPal misdirecting an order I'd made and used them to pay for. They had it sent to Caladex, not me. Turns out, they got that address from Ebay. A site I haven't used in well over a year, and didn't even know they had my old office address.

I think, maybe, back before Covid I had something shipped to the office so I could get it ASAP. But never consistently and certainly not in the last 5 years.

But that's what PayPal went for. Which is fucking ludicrous. I've taken it off that site and checked everyone else I've ever ordered anything through to make sure it's not listed with them, as well.

My doctors' office told me I had an outstanding balance...and gave me four different amounts that were still owed. It took half an hour on the phone (10 minutes of which was waiting on hold) to finally get the final amount determined, which I paid since I have another appointment for a surgery consult on Thursday.

Then as I was headed out to get groceries the muffler in my car blew. Got that fixed quickly enough, but still...another large expense I didn't need.

The one good thing to happen today? I walked a mile in 89 degree heat...from and to the auto repair shop. Wiped me out, but good for the heart, right?

But again...no writing done. And I'm really beating myself up for that.
