And now - it looks like one of my credit card numbers has been stolen.

Can this day, this week, possibly suck any harder?

(Yes. I said "suck")

This PROBABLY scuttles the trip to McKinney as it was the credit card I use for "frivolous" purchases. Dammit.

Edited: No, not stolen. It's a low-credit-limit card I use SPECIFICALLY for online and catalog purchases -(I pay it off in full each month) - because if it got stolen, less damage could be done. I mailed the payment for April's purchases - which included train tickets - last week, but apparently the Postal Service has included it as part of their new turtle-courier experiment (to save on gasoline costs), and it's not reached the credit card company yet. So I had spent up to my limit, especially considering a long-standing not-sent-yet Amazon order where they've apparently "earmarked" the money somehow without actually charging my card.

So I'm irritated but not enraged.

I do think even if the payment doesn't get posted, I'm still going, and I'm going to use my "essential purchases" card if I need to. Because, seriously? If I don't get out and get somewhere outside of this town soon, I'm going to go 100% bat-guano crazy. So I think in this case "retail therapy" counts as "essential."
