Why do Glitches have to be Negative?

Life happens, I get that.  Bumps in the road come along, I get that.  Good things and good people come along; I get that also.  What I don’t get are the negative glitches that come along and can throw you down the rabbit hole.

While navigating through my bill paying duties, I was mistakenly charged twice for a money order.  A rather large money order.  Mistakes happen, machines/equipment can falter/fail.  The rabbit hole aspect of this scenario is proving that I did not receive 2 money orders.  I have a strong feeling that this issue is going to take more than 2 weeks to resolve.

On the positive side, at least all my bills are paid, and I am only slightly overdrawn.  Wow!

As I am aging, I have discovered a newfound respect for money and what you can do with it.  I always took money for granted, I was working, making good money, spending it oh so willy-nilly not thinking about my later years.  Well, here I am in my later years, looking forward to my retirement check each month and wondering what I can buy other than bills and necessities.  I have also discovered that creativity can be the queen in any situation.

At least I am holding my head high, smiling through gritted teeth, and gearing up for Round 3 (and possibly more).
