Last night was my ex's birthday dinner at a local restaurant. My DIL picked up the tab for the table, but I gave her $20 toward it. I brought a bottle of wine ($15) for my ex. When I picked up the wine, I also spent $4 on a grocery item for myself.
I don't expect to spend anything today other than feeding the washer and dryer for one load, but I expect that I will do some grocery shopping tomorrow, so I won't do my October recap yet.
Two negative financial events -- a book I ordered from Amazon has been recorded as delivered, but I do not have it. I'm only out of pocket for $5, but I also used points which I wish I had back. Weirdly enough, it was supposedly delivered by USPS and I have to contact them to trace the package, which I expect is useless to try on a weekend. (I suspect the package may have been stolen. It's that time of year.)
The other -- I returned a pair of shoes to Skechers and received a credit of $61. However, my credit card doesn't seem to know that. It is not showing up on my account as either processed or pending. This might be a time lag thing. I sent an inquiring message to Chase, but it won't be answered until Monday or Tuesday. I may drop by Skechers tomorrow when I do my errands, just to check that they processed it correctly.

I'm betting it's just a time lag on the return being credited to your account. Just because many things occur instantaneously in our online accounts, not everything does, and that is likely in this case.
