Happy day!

Naturally, as the cold snap down here is lessening, I finally got off my ass and ordered some long silk underwear from LLBean*. And when I logged in to my bank to check which account to use**, and discovered that I'd miscalculated and accidentally overpaid my credit card so I had a $138 credit on it, which more than covered the underwear bill, and then LLBean gave me free shipping.

So: yay! Almost makes up for the fact that I have to take my car in Monday because the check engine light is on and it's making strange, dire, expensive-sounding noises.







* I have a large northern exposure in my office at work, and my office at home is the coldest room in the house. They'll come in handy anyway.

** I have about six, each for a different purpose. It's the only way that I manage not to spend all my money.

Long underwear are great, but I always feel like I belong to a crazy religious cult when I wear them.

I lived in South Dakota during the winter once. I have no such compunction. :D

...huh! re: multiple accounts. ...I wonder if my credit union would let me do that? Might be nice to, say, keep rent money in a separate account from my daily expenses.

I keep forgetting to buy thermal shorts (my legs are way too short for long underwear) before going to Arkansas for Christmas, and always regretting it. This year, dammit!

That's one of the things I like about banking through USAA - they'll let me open as many accounts as I like, as long as I keep $50 or more in each. :D
