A bit out of sync

One of my hard and fast rules is that I completely pay off my Amazon credit card every Friday.  After nearly 50 years of paying credit card fees it is a luxury that I do not take lightly.  It is actually one of my favorite things to do.  Last Friday I paid it off.  I was shocked at how much it had grown in a week and instigated a round of my version of parsimony as a result.  Another story.

This morning I was moving some money to my mortgage account and realized that the payment of the card had not come out of my bank account.  After staring at the credit card account and the bank account for a while I finally just decided to call Chase to find out what was going on.  

The resolution was that I'm old.  And retired.  And out of the finance stream in which I lived while running my business.  A payment late on Friday did not hit the bank on Friday and they were sleeping over the weekend.  And closed yesterday with MLK.  Since every day is a weekend day for me I had not calculated the delay.  

This is both good and bad.  The good is that my life is so quiet that I need my pill dispenser to find out what day of the week it is.  The bad is pretty much the same.  

All is well.  The money did not magically come from some other account but will be withdrawn today.  Whew!

Off for my walk with Zoe.  Today we have a guest appearance by Toby as Dana is at the dentist and I always feel guilty leaving Toby behind when we go out and Dana is not here.

Neglected to add to my post

Listening: Persepolis Rising — Expanse novel number 7 of 9

I started this TV/book combination in 2018 when I was sidelined with my hip surgery.  I've read all but the last book, carefully placed in cotton on my dresser awaiting the just right moment to begin it, and watched all of the series.  I suspect that someone will pick up a final season to the series which says it is all done.  It is not all done.  There is a lot more the books covered and money to be made.  I love the writing and have already read Persepolis Rising but it was long ago and I've lost some of the story threads so I'm listening to it and the next book before finishing the final one on Google Play.

Kindle: Embracing the End of Life.  I've been working on this one.  No hurry.

Watching: Australian Open, Football, Cheer Season 2.  The only reason we're watching Cheer is because.  We're just finishing it.  The story has lost a lot of energy for a bunch of reasons but we're getting through the last four episodes.
