I still love my life. And I loved it even yesterday!

 it's true.

thanks, science.

I got some silly coaching at call center 4 today. i think she was trying to coach me on how to be coached. WTF.

and then one of my cards had a fraudulent charge on it. the nerve!

it's a nice reminder to keep cards on locked/freeze. 

these criminals are relentless. 

i'm still going to live my 'happy life' as my friend calls it. criminals do what they do. and i'll do my best to safeguard and protect myself.

that was a card i was going to take on my trip, so i'm glad i have a couple backups!

will have to practice some extra vigilance when i return.

will prob need to clean up my inbox because the notification came but i was in a spending frenzy so didn't notice it. 

luckily, i only use 1 card actively, so it something i can normally catch. 

chasing points does have a risk. just general exposure to fraud.

i don't like the amex card for that reason.

but someone is letting me use their priority pass so we shall see if i can get lounge access on one of these trips.

looking forward to not-back-to-school time. I love this time of year. It's like all the first 8 months was building up to this wonderful time of fall and happiness.

Really going to try really hard to make Jan and Feb fun. Cuz those months are blah months.

I am hopeful i can relax and disconnect on my trip.

But I know I'll check email out of habit. 

Either way, i won't have to work, and that will be awesome.
