hooray!

Our new bank cards arrived yesterday! It was hard figuring out how much cash we needed, since we needed cash for everything. It was also not convenient to keep getting cash out, since my bank branch that is close to work doesn't have cash, and you had to hope one of the tellers took out a few hundred dollars to have on hand.

Although it was certainly nice knowing our balance was entirely real, and not reflecting stuff that hadn't cleared yet because the charges hadn't gone through. You don't realize how often you use your card until you don't have it.

It's a relief to have new cards though. And the thief...only got $55 from us (which we already got back from the bank).
