Recovery day. Once again slave paul got me up at the stupid hour of five in the morning. I can't complain, I told him to. I was at work by 5:45 and I got crankin'. I will say that everything went very smooth and then by 8:40 I was out of there. My first step was to go to the bank so I could get my Marriage and birth certificate. Then I went to DMV. To get my new drivers license. That actually went very smooth. I was at DMV for no longer than twenty five minutes. Everyone there was very nice and helpful. Everyone except the person who directly helped me. She was rather terse. I think that's the perfect word to describe her. Once I was out of DMV I went back to the bank to put my documents back in the safety deposit box and then I went to the bank to make a deposit. Then I headed back to work. I was out of the office for an hour and a half. All things considered that really was not too bad. Of course when I got in I had a lot to catch up on! I was busy but well. My only issue was that I was starving. I forgot to pack my breakfast and I didn't have time to get lunch but I did hear that one of the departments was having a big meeting and there was going to be lots of pizza. I had no problem going into their meeting, telling them my tale of misery and then pilfering some of their pizza. They all felt pretty bad for me, they offered me an entire pie. No thank you, two slices will be fine. I stayed in the office until 4:40. That allowed me to get my full eight hours. Not too bad. Next stop after work was the bank. I need to open another bank account since my mortgage and loan account are frozen. That went smooth. Though I need to call the mortgage company on Monday and I also need to wait ten days for the banks loan department to take care of the auto deposit portion of the loan. I'll be doing some day counting to make sure everything is happening on time. Oh yes, I called Equifax in the middle of the day and notified then of possible fraud so now nothing can happen on account with my name on it unless a call is placed to me first. This feature will happen for the next 90 days. Equifax will notify all of the credit companies too. I can only hope that I'm safe. Sometime in mid July I will have slave barb run the free credit reports. We will go over them with a fine tooth comb and make sure there's nothing odd on there.

While I was at the bank getting my accounts settled there was one interesting thing that happened. There were two women at the bank. One was a middle aged mom type and the other was an older grandma type with what looked to be two grand children. They were not together. They were each at different teller stations. The younger Mom lady got a phone call and started to say on the phone in a sweet voice, “don't worry honey Mommie will be home soon” You know the conversation. Then the other lady looks at her and says to her “will you stop being rude and get off the phone I can't think”. Of course the other women snaps back and now this tiff is escalating. All the tellers are just staring at them and even worse the women that's helping me is losing focus on me and paying attention to them which means I'm not getting undivided attention. The two bickering people are still at it and I'm not happy. So when there was a pause in their feud I yelled across the bank “KNOCK IT OFF AND GROW UP! YOU HAVE TWO CHILDREN WITH YOU. TRY SETTING A POSITIVE EXAMPLE! IS THIS HOW YOU WANT YOUR KIDS TO ACT?” The two shut up so fast. The grandma type took her two grand kids and slunk out of the bank. Now everyone is staring at me wondering how I had the balls to do that. I'm just doing what's right!

It was nice to get all this finance stuff accomplished.

Normally we go to the Leather Sir Leather boy contest but tonight was not the night for that. Instead we went to diner with the guys in the band nekked. Great band and two good guys. We had a real fun time with them. We talked sex, leather and their music career. The dinner was one part business and one part fun chatter.

On the way home myself and slave barb sang along with Kings X. That felt good. It felt like we were re-connecting after a terrible week. We actually sing very well together.,

I would have liked to stay up later and unwind but I needed to go to sleep.

Oh, one other thing. I called Saturn dealer in the morning and explained that I got my wallet stolen and that my free oil change coupon was in the wallet. They are still honoring the free oil change. That rocks!
