Incredibly Good News!!💰

I practically soiled my shorts yesterday when I went online to my bank account and saw what I thought was $3,100 owing on my VISA account. That’s what it said on my February statement. I checked my January statement and noted that I had paid $3,800 to my VISA account after the scamming event, but my February statement had the scam withdrawals on my statement for the second time, plus another huge bill. I called the VISA help line, and a kind gentleman directed me to the minus sign in front of the second scam entries and on the account balance. Vanity refunded me for my VISA card scam!!!!

I did not deserve the refund because I was complicit in the scam. That had been carefully and regretfully explained to me by Issam, my bank manager. I have a theory: I wrote to all the head honchos at Vancity about Issam; I raved about him because he was so patient and helpful with me after the scam. I explained to all the honchos about my speech and how I cannot use their customer service line for help, and that I must email Issam to solve my problems. I have a feeling that may have been the reason for my refund. Vancity is a compassionate corporation with values I admire.

I got my money back. I got my money back. I got my money back. That’s all I can think about. Today, I will be fully engaged in writing thank you letters to Issam, and the head honchos at Vancity.

Her Highness and I enjoyed two lovely long walks on a spectacularly sunny day yesterday. And all the rest of the day was spent on SPACE and trying to determine how to pay my deferred property taxes.

This morning, the good news continues. For one thing, the sky is clear and the big dipper is glowing right above me. And this morning, with dreaded anticipation I weighed myself. I’ve been eating as much as I want, and bigger portions often, but I’ve over sweets. Sugar is a treat when I eat with friends, but I don’t miss it at all. It may be because when I feel the desire, I have a single square of chocolate. Anyway, I was delighted to find that not only have I not gained weight, I’ve lost five more pounds from when I last weighed myself. I weighed 152 this morning. When I decided to drop sweets, and to eat smaller portions, I weighed 197. That’s a 45-pound drop, and I feel great. Losing weight and starting on Tezspire have made climbing hills and stairs incredibly easier.

Today will be another enjoyable day for walking, and I’ll write to Vancity folk, and so some SPACE work. I Zoom with Aidan today. It’s going to be a good day. And tonight, I will watch The Choral as a special treat. It’s $24 to rent, but I got my scam money back and I’m so much healthier. So, tonight I celebrate.
