More Amex Problems

Yesterday evening I went on line to pay my American Express {Amex} bill and was horrified to discover yet MORE charges I didn’t make showing up from my old card which Amex told me they had cancelled well over a week ago.  So, after I had put my new card number in, I called the toll-free telephone number on the back of my card and spoke to a person in India. I am assuming this because he had an Indian accent—“Bombay Welsh” is easily recognizable–and eventually got one of the two amounts taken off my account. The other one, which is over $1000 will have to be investigated, he told me. He said I should get something in the mail within 30 days and he gave me a reference number. I paid the two charges I had made and told him I expected to see the two others disappear within a few days. However, I  looked this morning and they are still there! There will be skating lessons in Hell before I pay anything I have not charged.

In other news, I am not doing too well in trying to train myself to go to sleep earlier and get up earlier. I just could not sleep last night and it was well after 3 am before I wound down enough to drift off. So, that meant that I was up at 9 am instead of my preferred time ot 7 am. I have been for a walk up to the pharmacy to get Fred’s medication and then after that a “proper” {longer} walk out across Main Street to the other side of town. I may try a second walk this afternoon.

Things yet to be done today:{in no particular order}

• Go for a second walk
• Make a loaf of white bread. I was  going to make the two-cheeses bread but realized we have no cheddar at all–which is unusual.
• Do the dishes and tidy the kitchen
• Maybe do some art?
• Maybe read?

Until later…
