Eehh

That’s all I had the energy to write for a title. I’m lacking motivation beyond belief. I’m going through a phase where I can hardly muster up the energy to read other people’s blogs not to mention write on my own.

Every ounce of energy I have I’m using to sustain normal function (if you can call me normal.) Not a day goes by that isn’t filled with inconveniences that prevent me from being able to take a breath and even blink.

Today, for example, I found out that my account information for my credit card had been compromised and I was issued a new card number. Of course that simple explanation wasn’t sent with the new card, I had to sit through numerous automated phone prompts and enter my card number and other random information only to have to repeat it to the live person 20 minutes later.

Then I received a letter from my mortgage company letting me know what they found out about my credit score when I applied for a home equity line of credit. I had a collection item filed! I was shocked because I have paid every bill I’ve ever had on time and in full. I’ve never even carried a balance on a credit card. My old city in California never had record of me discontinuing my water and garbage collection service. They stopped the service but didn’t know where to send the $110 bill so they sent it to a collection agency. What good is a collection agency if they don’t try to find me? I had a collection company find me before (a year after the fact) when my insurance company mistakenly thought I didn’t pay a bill, so I know they can.

I’m not complaining both situations have been rectified (the credit report one took a long time to sort out), I’m just giving these as examples of the things that are currently cropping up everyday and depleting me of my energy.

I did put my foot down tonight where work is concerned so that I could go to a concert in the park with my family. I decided to stop by a convenience store on the way to pick up a light weight plastic folding table so that we could enjoy our dinner without having to slop all over our laps. Of course, I took the table out of its wrapping only to discover it was completely broken, even shattered in some parts.

I know it could be worse, but I still feel like eehh.
