I'm fed up

 I am in a pretty negative mood tonight


    Yes, some of it is my fault.

    For example, I had 72 cents a gallon in HyVee rewards.  The  rewards expire  today.  I filled the car last Thursday and learned about the rewards Friday.

    It was so cold, I did not go anyplace Saturday or Sunday.  Monday I went to Rockford to visit a relative in the hospital.  Today I went to DeKalb.

    I used about 1/4 of a tank.

    The HyVee rewards are good at Casey's.  So I stopped at the Casey's in Creston to fill up and save 72 cents a gallon.

    I don't know what I did wrong, but I did not get the discount.  It normally shows, but this time did not.  I should have hung up the hose and started over, but I didn't.

    I put 5 gallons in, which is about $3.50.  But the gas was 17 cents a gallon more than stations in town, so I spent another $1 or so, meaning I wasted $4.50.

    I know, big deal....not even a coffee.

    It's the damn point.  I should have been more aware.

    I'm still fuming over Astoria Jewelry.  I could not post the required picture and eventually the return period expired.  I have contacted them several times but their answer is the same:  Tough toenails!

    Those damn lightbulbs.  How can they all be bad?

    Last night I quit the computer at 9.  Planned to go to bed early.  Finally made it at 11:45!  What the hell did I do?

    The only bright spot of the day was a Cubs hat cousin Bob sent.  It's a replica 1911 hat, maybe,  but it looks great.  

    Anyway, I am in a big grouch today.  Tonight.  Whatever.

    Hoping tomorrow is better.

Peace and Love
