Busy weekend - my social security card AND new credit card arrived!
Hey y'all. It's been a veeeery busy few days in my Quest to Adulthood.
First thing - my social security card arrived on Friday! As astute readers will remember, New York State loves social security cards. Without a card, I have the same right to a drive as a federal prisoner with a revoked license. But I digress. I got my social security card in the mail. Friday afternoons are always the best time of the week, and this just made entering the weekend a little bit more exciting. Thank you, God, for the kindness you continuously provide.
And then to top it off...my new credit card arrived on Saturday! Of course, I immediately called the number on the sticker to activate the card, the way a mature adult would, and then spent the next 45 minutes on the phone with Discover asking some very important questions like, "How do I pay my bill? Any chance it can be done online? Yeah!?" and "Is there a way to look up what I purchased? Really?? That's amazing!" I am pretty sure that they were blown away by my sophistication. (And because I know you're not just looking for entertainment, you REALLY came to this tumblr for financial advice, you never, NEVER, put something on a credit card you can't pay for immediately. So of course, I set up the account to pay the full balance at the end of the month. Thanks, Mom!)
Next step, DMV! Good thing, too, because my first doctor appt is Wednesday evening. Getting pretty psyched!
