First thing in the morning, two things indicate the level alertness and wellness I am about to enjoy. One is my appetite. Normally my tummy is awake before I am. The other is how poorly or well I manage to play the piano.
Lately I have been not hungry for hours after waking. To the point that I have to force myself to eat (after I realize I haven't). While recovering yesterday I was not only too tired to wash the dishes and make breakfast, I could barely focus enough to read the classified ads. I didn't even try the keyboard.
Today is a different story altogether. An improved story: I have been hungry most of the day even though I have been eating. And my brain is staying in gear for longer periods of time. Yay!
I still have spells of complete and utter fatigue a couple of times a day, but these seem to respond very well to a short rest. When I remember to practice what I learned at hypnotherapy this week, which in itself requires a certain number of brain cells to be fueled, I feel wonderfully refreshed after the rest.
More odd mail at Mailboxes today. This time it's from Bell. Apparently they want me to continue paying for service I am no longer receiving. Not likely, but nice try anyway. No wonder I hate them.
I haven't dealt with the other odd mail I received earlier in the week yet. I mailed a cheque in US funds for deposit to my NC account. The cheque was from me, to me. The whole transaction was returned with a note stating processing was aborted because "foreign check does not cover available balance in account". Huh?? Why the hell should it? The worst I expected was a hold on funds for a few days. But no, apparently I was wrong. This is more than I could have dreamed.
The final line on the form completes the Alice-in-Wonderland quality of this communication: "Your cooperation in correcting the above exception(s) when making future deposits will facilitate processing and enable us to better serve your banking needs." You don't say.
