FURIOUS FRIDAY!

Seriously? This Friday can SUCK IT!

I wake up excited to log on at 10am sharp to get my Citibank Private Pass presale tickets to Lady Gaga in NYC only to find that #1 the presale was OVER already and that the article I read was incorrect and #2 I spent over an hour, 1 iPod and 3 browsers searching for tickets for ANY of the 3 nights. NO LUCK. Only tix I could have purchased were in section 334 (aka double nostril nosebleed).

NEXT I log onto my Citibank account to see if a recent return has been posted to my account, only to find that there are multiple charges to Entropay . Don't know what that is? NEITHER DID I. Someone has gotten hold of my debit card # and is proceeding to clean out my bank account. The site is based in London. After calling the fraud department and filling out all necessary paperwork, they canceled my card and I hope to pick one up at a Citibank branch tomorrow before 2pm. Glad I didn't book that road trip I was considering this weekend! I feel majorly violated and just want to tear someone apart. I mean I've had one decent paycheck in 13 months and this is what I get? NICE! Bob at Citibank told me he'd credit my account the full amount minus the *foreign fees* pending the investigation. I won't see the money for 2-5 business days though. Awesome. Bright side? At least I'm getting it back at all and had the chance to pull what little I had left in my account out.

It's gorgeous outside. A warm 75 degrees and blue skies. I have a hair appointment on Sunday and still plan on having a nice sun filled day tomorrow. Mattress shopping! I envision nights of actual sleep followed by days of less pain. Is this unrealistic?

Importance of a Sound Sleep

1. A good mattress can provide a restful sleep helping to eliminate tossing and turning. A fitful sleep can bring about a lack of energy, depression, and inability to concentrate.

Stress Relief

2. A good mattress can lower stress levels brought on by lack of sleep. Medical News Today reports that individuals who have less anxiety and tension in their lives are happier, more fulfilled, age more slowly, and live longer.

Back Pain

3. Mattresses that conform to the contours of the body can help reduce back pain and other physical discomforts. A quality mattress can also help alleviate vertebrae stress.

Too bad I can't purchase one tomorrow!
But GOOD thing I didn't book the road trip I was considering this weekend! I'm still going, but putting it off for a few weeks. I want to rent a car and go to W. Virginia, see the railroads, have some unique meals and check out the little towns (maybe even Point Pleasant - yep, Mothman Prophecies). Fun!

Signing off for now. Hoping for a better night and great (ok, decent) weekend.

Besos!
