I saw this on a few other blogs and decided to join in. The concept is to pick one word that you want 2012 to be.

Stability is the word that I chose. I’ve been unstable for a long time, due to my own issues, other toxic people in my life, and since I’m owning this year and taking my life back through gastric bypass, better and more effective coping skills, and healing from years of self abuse, abuse from others. I’m living this year day by day hoping to become stable and well adjusted.  This also goes over to home life as well. I am getting new furniture from Rent-a-center so I can have nice furniture and pay it off monthly and I’m getting that before #gastricbypass [1.Why yes I did just hastag my own blog.] and once I get that I’m cleaning up the entire apartment, and keeping it clean. I’m getting rid of things I don’t use any longer or have no place for and working up from there.

Last Saturday I figured out that my debit card went missing, so I called the hotline and had it frozen. I didn’t realize the way my bank is set up that if you have the pin number to the card you can call in with that and the member number (account number) and unfreeze the account. So while I talked to a representative on Saturday and have been looking for the card since, calling all the local businesses to see if I’d dropped it anywhere in town, and it had been turned in. It wasn’t. Apparently it was taken out of my wallet and the letter that you initially get with your account number and pin on it was also taken, because not only is it not where I last put it, its no where in my important paper work I keep organized in the accordion file. I check my balance and Penelec- the local electric company who was the second phone call I made to stop payment on that bill because of my account being on freeze, didn’t take it out of me once, but twice. ¹ So my guess is that they took the letter with the information on it before the card, reactivated the card once they realized it was gone, and now I’m screwed. So tomorrow I have to get up early to talk to Penelec and see if they can credit $25 towards my bill considering I talked to them twice, once to stop the payment and once to verify that it was in fact stopped and to make a payment arrangement that didn’t include my bank card. And then to the bank so I can talk to them about when I made the first phone call to freeze the account, what transactions I did not do so they can be tracked. Then its off to the police department to file a report to have on file, something I did NOT want to do, because knowing my luck a certain officer that I just can not stand [1.One of the Canton cops that is crooked as all hell and mean as a pissed off rattle snake.] will be on duty. Oh and I got stung today, on my middle finger no less.

So after tomorrow I have to sit down and make sure all of the bills are in one place so I can make sure they are all taken care off the day I get my pay check. My elder sister is going to try to help me out as much as possible and people that are allowed in my house are going to be minimal. Once I get the apartment looking the way I want it too, and get everyone else’s shit out of here, no one will be allowed to stay here, period. I just can’t keep getting screwed over like this.  I also apologize for all the pain blogging posts, I’m just trying to get a savings account started and until the bills are caught up and I learn my lesson of keeping them caught up… *sigh* I swear I will learn.

Edit: After speaking with my bank, my card got re-ordered with a new pink assigned to me. I also talked to them about why they charged me twice for the same transaction and they said they were looking into it. The electric bill is taken care of thankfully I still had an energy grant left over and the check went out THAT DAY…. I also got home and either called, logged into, and double check ALL of the bills that are due by the 3-6 of September and wrote the checks out with the date they are due for the month of September. I have a bit of money left over next month if everything goes right, which will be used for personal hygene items, laundry, laundry soap, and cleaning supplies as I’m basically out of everything!

So update on everything in my so-called life. I went to login to hello-karyn and it was suspended! OMG This is so NOT COOL, I’ve been wanting to blog every day, multiple times a day plus get my e-mail that’s associated with my domain name.. and.. nothing. Pay pal address had been mixed up and thus suspended account. Everything is fixed as you can see. Thank god. So anyways, I got my tax refund check in the mail, and everything is paid off in full bill wise. My domain is now taken care of and I’ve been throwing myself full force into Radio Hybrid and my own show The Night Owl Club. Jet and Wayne moved out, on good terms thank you very much.  They got offered a place to live with space for them to have their own room, which sure beats the hell out of sleeping in my living room.

The down side is that I am now forced to do everything on my own. That’s not a bad thing by any means. I just am so over whelmed that I don’t know where to start and end up saying EFF it. But I’ve decided to start to make to do lists.  This makes things a lot easier because A) I can mark things off as I do them and B) I can put things in order of importance. The dishes will mold and stink in this heat, so they get done first. The dog needs to be walked at least three to four times a day (every few hours) so that’s also up there in to do lists. Then there is homework that needs to be done, floors that need to be swept and as soon as I get the shampooer back .. then that will be done as well.

I opened up a checking account. This is huge to me, because I’ve been using prepaid debit cards for awhile now and now I am apart of a credit union and have a savings and checking account. This will helping me  begin a savings fund in case of emergencies. I am so beyond excited. Now sadly I have to go do homework…
