Yesterday I was taking a break and looking at my personal email when I saw an email from PayPal saying that $156.95 was paid to Norton360. I freaked the fuck out because I canceled my subscription when my laptop died last year. So, I went to the Norton website and made sure to turn off auto renewal, then began the process of contesting the charge.
PayPal told me to call Norton and they were helpful in getting the charge reversed. However, the man I spoke to kept trying to get me to not cancel. I told him no less than three times that I no longer had a device to use their product on. I mean, I do have a Surface tablet but if it dies I won't be as sad as when my laptop dies. Yes, I would be very bored after that but it won't be the end of the world.
The call center agent said the refund had been issued. Because I use PayPal to pay for it, I thought the money wouldn't be taken from my account at all. But I got a text telling me I only had $8.59 in my account. I freaked out (this is part of why I wasn't able to go back to sleep (see below for explanation)). I spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to contact PayPal to ask why this happened then decided to wait until the sun was up. A couple of hours later I received a text that $156.95 had been deposited into my account. Crisis averted.
I still wasn't feeling well all day and when it came time for bed, I just let myself fall asleep on the couch.
I fell asleep watching Kids Baking Championship and now have to go rewatch it, although I did go back and watch the end so I know who won. Then I put on House Hunters because I thought I was awake enough to watch it all.
Spoiler: I was not.
I'm fairly sure that a leg cramp woke me around 1am, but I'm not positive. This cramp was very painful. I mean, they all are but this one was bad enough that I couldn't sit and wait it out. I had to walk it off.
This time I was awake enough to watch House Hunters (she did not buy the house I would have bought) and one episode of Neighborhood Wars along with part of another. I caught myself falling asleep, that's why I only watched part of the second episode of Neighborhood Wars.
The wind was gusting really strongly all evening and I could feel it coming in the gaps around my front door. I have some weather stripping that I got off TikTok shop. I think I might put it up this weekend.
When I came into my room to get started on my day, I checked on my car, like I always do. When I turned on the standing lamp that's next to my desk, I discovered that the frost guard had blown off. I went out to see if it was on the ground nearby and luckily it had gotten caught on the passenger side rear tire. I put it back on. Hopefully it doesn't get blown off again.
For the first time in a while, I actually thought about calling off work. Two things kept me from doing so. 1) We have been given permission to work two hours of OT and I really need the extra pay and 2) it is month end and I still have tank loss to review.
