Weekend Update in New Diary

Well Friday afternoon turned out to be a bad day. Connie took us to the new Dollar General store . We did our shopping. I finished mine and went to pay for my purchases which came to $24.42 I gave the clerk my debit card It was declined. I tried three or four times and was declined. I didn’t have any money on me. My fiancé agreed to lend me the money. I felt so embarrassed and frustrated.

We waited outside for our ride. I kept telling my fiancé that it worked in other places. I paid for our cigars wit hit. I paid for my Nook and bought a book at Barnes and Noble with it. I couldn’t for the life of me understand why DG declined my card. I kept saying I will never go back to this store. Fiance kept telling me that it must be a glitch with their equipment. I wouldn’t listen. I kept thinking that there was something wrong with my card and for some reason my debit card killed my new card .

We didn’t have t wait long for Connie to pick us up. She took us right home. I went to my apartment and put away my stuff. I kept thinking I had to get to an ATM machine so I can get money and pay back my fiancé. Then I was worried that if DG didn’t take it then I couldn’t use it at an ATM machine. I thought to myself I am screwed. I owed her all that money and I wont be able to pay her back.

It was then I remember I had $20. I was going to use that for laundry. I decided that it would be better to give it to my fiancé. I go to her apartment and give her the money. This way I only owe her $4.42. I was thinking if worse comes to worse I can pay her that next month. Anyways, I was glad I had that much money to give her.

We talk for a while then I decided to go home. I was still upset. I sit at my computer and what do I see? I see my new debit card. In my haste to get outside I picked up the wrong debit card. I feel even more stupid for making such a careless mistake. But this other card is the one that is loaded with money. At least I can get to my bank next week make a withdrawal and pay back my fiancé. I should also have enough money for laundry.

What a jerk I can be. This was the second mistake like this I made. I made a similar mistake when I went to Gumby’s for cigars. Sometimes when I do these things I wonder if I am getting dementia or something like that . I make a lot of careless mistakes Maybe it is just the fact that I don’t pay attention to what I am doing In any case I got rid of my old card so I wont be making that mistake again.

Saturday was a little bit of a better day. Anne wanted to go to a rummage sale. I agreed to go along with her. We took an early bus to this church by the hospital. Anne had a good time. She picked out this afghan and a couple of blankets and a few other items. She had a big bag full of stuff by the time she finished shopping. From the church we walked to this convenient store and we waited outside for a cab and made it home.

I was glad to get home. We went to our separate apartmwets for a while. I did some reading. I went down to check my mail. My Nook didn’t come. I was disappointed. Later on Anne was in my apartment. Somebody was knocking on my door. I opened the door and there was a package. It was my NOOK with Glowlight.

I was in seventh heaven. I didn’t have any problem setting it up and getting it running. I was happy because I had access to my library. After setting it up I went on a reading marathon. All I did was read Finders Keepers by Stephen King. I finished the book earlier today. It is one of his best .

Well that is about it. I’m going to spend a couple hours reading and go to bed.

Life is good
