Well. Today was not uneventful.

Today was not uneventful.

I got an email a couple of weeks ago that the email address in my Groupon account was changed.  I did not do it.  I emailed back and forth with their seemingly inept customer service department for a couple of weeks before finally giving in and just calling them.  I was able to prove the account was mine and got it back, so that's awesome, but when I logged in there was someone else's name and several purchases that were made in Baton Rouge, LA.  There was a full address on the account and when I Googled it, it was a big fancy house.

Thankfully, my card was no longer on the account (yay for being too broke to be stolen from!), but there were two other card numbers that I assume are probably stolen.  I messaged Anniston PD to ask what I should do and they told me to contact the Baton Rouge PD.  I haven't done it yet, but I plan to.  If you're in need and you steal... well, I'd still rather you ask me for things, but I can understand desperation.  But you don't live in a freaking mansion and try to take things from people who are hanging by a thread.  That is not cool and I don't plan to let it go.

In other news concerning financial matters, thank goodness for Care Credit.  I took Shadow to see Dr. Benton today because his dentist said he should see an orthodontist and I kind of figured as much.  Dr. Benton did my braces, oh, 17 years ago (WOW) and I was really happy with them, so of course I went back.  Well, it was not surprising to me at all to hear that Shadow needs braces.  I was a little surprised at how badly he needs them, though.

I have known that he has an overbite, but I didn't realize how bad it was until Dr. Benton showed me.  All of Shadow's bottom teeth, even the molars, rest behind his top teeth when he bites down.  None of his teeth meet up naturally.  Dr. Benton said that if we correct this now while he is still growing, then it shouldn't be a problem.  He said that if we wait until Shadow stops growing it would take surgery to fix.  So... his appointment is Thursday.  Thankfully, he's excited.

As for me - I am starting to hurt again and my skin is breaking out.  Maybe it's just stress; though Emma seems ok at the moment I don't know what is wrong with her.  Yay for Care Credit, but honestly the last thing I need while I'm working so little is an extra $6000 in debt.  Also, finals are coming up.  I have a feeling that the next couple of weeks are gonna suck.  😕
