Woke up to a phone call. Collection agency about an unpaid bill from when I was in Iowa. A bill that I had paid.

Oops.

I had paid the bill. By check. Made out to the cable company. Not to the electric/gas company.

Okay, straightened that out.

Call from the old apartment place. They realized their mistake, and are cutting me a refund check.

Found an unauthorized charge on an old account. Someone had signed me up for a subscription to Entertainment Weekly from a Best Buy. Got it canceled and refunded.

Took the dog outside to pee. Put on a robe. Sat down on the chair on the porch.

The metal chair.

The one that's been in the direct sunlight for several hours.

My scream scared the dog. And probably a few neighbors.

And now I have to try and put some aloe vera lotion on my ass.

Joke here: know what burns my ass? A metal chair that's been in the sun for several hours.
