Just when I thought my plan was sound ...
I forgot about my backup credit card -- the one I use in the rare cases when a Discover card is not accepted. I have a balance on it this month that I forgot about which throws me off by $44.
However, I'm still sticking with the plan! I do not have to pay this credit card until July 10. Once my Discover account refreshes, after June 11, I can charge groceries at Jewel and get $50 cash. (I often get my cash this way since it is easier than going to the bank.) I can put that $50 in the bank to cover the Visa card and we're all square. With no big expenses looming, I should have no trouble paying off the next cc cycle in full.
So, I'm taking off on my trip this evening. I thought about driving to work and leaving from there, but although it would save time it would also take more gas. So I took the train, and will leave from home. That will give me the chance to feed the fish, water the flowers and pack some food, anyway.
Speaking of the train, I had another train adventure last night. The train to the city ran late -- very late -- and I missed the connecting train home. I took the next outgoing train, but it did not stop at my station. It stopped at a station quite a bit north of where I live. It was a lovely day, so I walked home -- it took about 40 minutes.
My seatmate on the train was having a worse day than me -- she was trying to go to her niece's recital in a strange city without knowing anything except the name of the auditorium. I tried to be helpful, but I still don't know the city well at all. I called my son, and he looked up directions to the auditorium. It looked like she had a long walk to make and she was already late. We looked for a taxi but of course there was none. She had a great big suitcase on wheels. I last saw her taking off in the direction she had to go, rolling that suitcase behind her. I hope she ended up all right.
Uh-Oh
