Two unrelated things went wrong today:
1) I slept very poorly last night, waking up multiple times with painful leg cramps. The first couple of times I used an epsom salts rub, and massaged the painful muscles, long enough that they felt better if not good. The third time, I went into the kitchen and drank a couple of glasses of orange juice, for potassium.
I got another three hours of sleep after that, but have been feeling worn out and a little off balance. I called the dentist after lunch, to make a follow-up appointment. They offered an appointment tomorrow, which I declined, because I want to be awake and reasonably focused when I'm making decisions about what I want the dentist to do next, with options including a "partial" bridge, dental implants, or possibly some third thing. So, I will be seeing the dentist again on June 19th.
I asked![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude to accompany me for a walk this afternoon, because it was a nice day and I wanted to play outside, but was feeling both distracted and slightly off balance, and didn't want to go alone. It was a nice walk, and nothing went wrong, but I was glad of the company for practical reasons as well as because I like walking with him.
2) As soon as we got back from that pleasant walk, I saw a text message about a possible fraudulent charge on my credit card. I didn't recognize the charge or the company it was from, so I texted back "FRAUD" (the other options being "VALID" and "HELP"). A couple of minutes later, I called the credit card company and spent about twenty minuteson the phone sorting out that yes, that charge was fraudulent, although the two charges before that (one of which was from mid-May) were legit. So they cancelled that card and will be sending me a new one. The customer service person said that, because it was after 3:00 eastern time, if I had them send the new card by FedEx, it would arrive on Wednesday or Thursday. We're going to Montreal this weekend, and I didn't want to risk the card arriving after we left for the airport and lying around in the building lobby, or even the inside hallway behind a locked door. Instead, they will be mailing me a new card, which I was told will arrive in 7-10 business days, with the regular mail.
Since I have another credit card, this is an annoyance rather than a Problem, but really.
