Full day! Spent the day moving through the morass of things I needed to do/get done. No naps today--just continuous movement. Did laundry (which I had thought would be all I'd get done today). Picked up my mail and found that I had some good news and some bad news. Good news included a new battery for my phone (whose new battery now seems to be working well), lots of tax information forms and such. Bad news was that I got a notice that I had not paid my AE bill last month. It was time to pay the annual fee for the card and somehow I failed to notice that it was due. AE sent me a stern note and jacked up the card's interest rates. I don't use the card for anything so the increase in interest rates don't mean anything. But it's aggravating that I'd let it slip by me. Made the payment online.

Picked up some groceries from TJ's and contacted my bank regarding the over-deposit they had made in trying to reverse an incorrect monthly fee charge they had made. They credited two reversals. Not a bad deal if they keep doing it--they charge me incorrectly for X dollars, reverse the charges twice, which leaves me X dollars ahead. Fine with me if they want to do it every day.

Watched a German film--Mother Kunsters Goes to Heaven. It's a Fassbinder film about a woman who is widowed by her husband taking his own life after killing a co-worker. She tries to set right the impression the media makes of her husband as they report the story. It has German and an English (American) endings that are radically different. In both she goes to heaven, but in very dissimilar ways.

I'm quite tired tonight, but in a good way. Jude's birthday next Friday. Got a note from S, my daughter, that there's a party. It's in the evening next Friday. Have to see if I can make it since it's a fair distance from where I live and it will be dark--I've not driven a lot at night over that past few years. Will check it out! Time to collapse! Adieu!
