simplyn2deepFirst, we were being self quarantined until the end of the month.
Okay. I had a little issue with that, but I looked at all the things I was able to do to get me out of the apartment and it was going to be okay.
Now it’s apparently a month-long quarantine!
Sunday was church.
Monday was a keep warm and stay out of the rain kind of day…I also did a bunch of research for my original story (and day 1 of self-quarantining)
Tuesday, I went to get a tattoo and bought some dish soap. (Still, self quarantining)
Wednesday…oh…that was just yesterday. Man did the week go by fast!
Today…today I didn’t do much of anything, but I was in an okay mood…until about 3 hours ago.
What happened 3 hours ago?
LA County completely closed down.
Then what seemed like minutes later, the Governor said the entire fucking state of California is closed down until AFTER EASTER! FUCK YOU! THAT’S A MONTH!
I don’t go anywhere, to begin with, but now everything is really basically closed until AFTER April 19! No church on April 5. No church on April 12. No Easter service.
There’s no place I can say I wish I could go to escape this because this is happening all around the fucking planet!
As far as I know, KW still has her doctor appts on April 1 and April 7, but she will need to go to the lab before her April 1 appt and when I called the clinic, they said they didn’t know if the lab was going to be open next week (they only do it 1 day a week). I will have to call the clinic next week to see if the lab is open still.
Postmates fucked me up this week. I used them on the 16th, the transaction cleared my account on the 18th, but the fucking “pre-authorization” charge was still pending and my bank charged me an overdraft fee! The “pre-authorization” is still pending but they charged me the overdraft! “We can give you back $8.35 (of the $35 overdraft fee) right now.” Uhh, the fuck you will! You’re going to give me back all of my money! That “pre-authorization” is still pending so until or unless it posts, I have the money to cover it! Then the bank says that they can give me all of the overdraft fees back if the merchant/Postmates reverses the charge. Okay, great. I send a message to Postmates and they send me the stupid automated response about how they hold the amount of the transaction until it clears and then within 24 hours, it reverses. Well, this bullshit policy just cost me $35 in overdraft fees on a $22 purchase! And I’m currently overdrawn by $54.32!
And then! When my paycheck posts tomorrow, it’s going to be short $54.32 until Postmates removes the “pre-authorization” amount so that the bank can refund me $35!
I’m just frustrated by life now. It’s confirmed that we aren’t having Church until April 19.
