Four Negatives and a Tearful Positive

Fio received a notice from her credit card company that because she hadlost her old card and now had a new card with a different number on it, one of her insurance companies couldn't be paid so she should inform the company of her new card number. The only problem was that the email address her card company provided was incorrect. No harm done--she'll just wait for the insurance conpany to reach her by mail, but she resents the time (half an hour) and energy spent achieving nothing.

Fiorella had to walk up to the road for her newspaper again so she picked up her land line phone, looked at the American Statesman number taped to the back and called in to the robotic voices again.
*
The next thing on Fio's list is to try to get hold of Husband's investment company again--you know, the ones who said they'd contact her two weeks ago. Apparently there was some sort of secret code by which Fio was supposed to contact them so they could contact her. Yeah, now you know why yours truly is not fond of the technological age. Damn it--Fiorella is a PERSON, not a digit!

On the home front, Fio is up to six bug bites now, which confirms that it's semi-summer. Mosquitoes are especially enamored of her, but apparently she's open season to all the other flying insects that are looking for a juicy treat.

Fiorella, a devoted Big Bang Theory fan, was devastated when word got out that the show was in its last season, and, afraid the final double-episode would be a bomb, she girded her loins against further devastation as she turne don the television. BUT IT WAS GREAT!  Lead-up episodes had given Leonard a more satisfying job and peace with his mother, but in the last show, the repaired elevator had a leading role, Sheldon and Amy got the Nobel Prize, Penny turned up pregnant, Amy had a physical make-over, and Sheldon had a psycological make-over. The only disappointment was the Raj was still just a tag-along, but Fio is hoping there will be some sort of happiness for him, like maybe a one-episode get-gether in the future.
