So Far So Good.
This is excellent.
At 8:19 a text arrived announcing that my credit card was not present but it ran up a $63 charge at Texas Roadhouse. Before I made it back to my room a $92 charge happened. At another Texas Roadhouse. Before I got some one to answer, my card got $46 worth of pizza at Pizza hut.
Don’t worry ma’am, I have cancelled your account and we will send you a new card in 4 business days.
Okay. I am a silly old woman. I only have one credit card. No, I don’t have a spare. My bad. I own it. But I am in a shit load of trouble. The biggest problem is that my cellphone bill is paid by the closed card in 2 days.
Okay. So I will be in Japan with no credit card and no cell service. You’re dead without a cellphone.
I have done as much as I can. I was so assertive with the credit card company that they passed me to a supervisor who must been a guard in a Russian prison. Google will not cut my service until the 15th. And a credit card is supposed to arrive at the Asylum on Saturday. Not holding my breath.
Always looking on the bright side
I spent a lot of time thinking up how to get the wheels back on. I don:t have to come up with hotel money until July 18. My debit card is fine. But it is useless for anything except getting cash. If the Japanese ATM is willing.
And.
And I did go for a walk.
Also. Washed some clothes and got naked and did the onsen thing. Both in doors and outdoor.
As my friend Claudia says: The adventure doesn’t begin until the wheels fall off. And the onsen was excellent.
