It took an hour and a half on hold but my credit card is now cancelled

My morning so far:

•waking up to an unauthorized charge on my credit card detected by my bank

•calling the bank: "your estimated wait time is less than 5 minutes"

•still on hold 50 minutes later

The internet was better when it was just shrines to our fav characters on geocities

Pretty sure it was DBZ fic on a Vegeta fansite when I was 11 or 12.

Bchydro said they'd turn off my power at 10am for 30 minutes.

It is now 10:30 and power is still on.

I've got important calls starting at 11. 😩

Nothing reminds me more that I'm disabled than when I try and do Normal Person things.

I cleaned for 3 hours today and that is simply Too Much.

A picture of my ddr score for Freckles (it's a B)

The other knows my stamina is not good enough for 7+ foot ddr songs

The $80 Emet-Selch of the Third Seat foil chocobo track magic card, featuring Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus being gay
