I wasn’t feeling one hundred percent when I went to bed last night, and I think that contributed to my getting up late this morning. (Pizza, salad and ice cream just before bed wasn’t such a bright idea after all.) Of course, the station on the radio alarm clock wasn’t tuned in, so there wasn’t much sound to rouse me. It was a slow start.
When I finally did get through the morning routine I gulped down a cup of strawberry yogurt for breakfast and tried to head for the road. This didn’t go off smoothly either. I’d been so busy over the weekend that I’d forgotten to iron a shirt for today. Who knows, maybe the crumpled look is in.
Realizing that I had no cash for the day I tried to hit my bank’s ATM. I slid in the card, entered my PIN number and got declined immediately. The screen told me to call a number. When I did call my bank they eventually assured me that I their ATMs were just updating. I decided to just get some cash from a debit at the Ballard Market. Regardless of how much sense that made at the time my card was declined again at the store. I was already late when I put in that second call to the bank.
Now, I’m not sure how it happened, but it turns out that I wasn’t using my card all that time. I don’t have the foggiest notion how it happened, but somewhere along the way I managed to pick up someone else’s debit card
