Silver and Gold

What's with places that flood and people having dinghies? Whenever there is a storm that causes flooding, there are always pictures of people in their little boats floating through their neighborhoods. Do people just have boats? I don't. My family never did. If we'd been flooded out, we'd have had to be rescued from our rooftop.

I feel both young and old this morning. Young because I have a weird hangover and hangovers are for the young. Here's why it is weird. I was hungover yesterday so I bought materials to make some Bloody Marys. Well, I've never made them before so I ended up getting drunk all over again. At 9 PM on a Saturday night, I was drinking water and coffee to try and get myself sober - not exactly the life of the party, this one. Woke up with a mouth tasting like a garbage disposal and some equilibrium problems. Have not turned on the lights but am sitting on my living room floor, surveying the fallout from this weekend (like a bomb went off) and thinking that I really need to take out the recycling.

Here is why I feel old. My friend from high school is part of a rap movement in my hometown. I wanted to download his music and so, last night, I went to his website and tried to do it. But I hit the wrong button and was asked for my credit card info. I entered it and was taken to a site that looked like a scam. So, basically, grandma here may have compromised her debit card because of the internet. I called my bank to cancel my card but their systems are down so I can't get a new one reissued until the chick I talked to this morning calls me back. Not a big deal. The card is canceled so if it was a scam, no one can use my money. And I'm still on J's account so I can just transfer funds and use my debit card for that account. But it is frustrating and annoying to know that I did this to myself.

Well, happy Sunday.
