At least they cleaned it up. I am doing bills and finances and opened the statements from my bank account. They'd said they would combine my accounts (I have a checking and savings account) into one statement, which is cool by me.

This statement contained the checking, the savings, and the household checking. The first two are in my name only. The last is joint, Scott and myself. They addressed it only to me, and they put it in a combined statement - in fact, the second part (just a few lines) of the joint account info, is on the same page as the entirety of my personal info.

This doesn't matter in the least, practically. Scott can read my finances for all I care, and I do all the household accounting anyway so it all came to the right spot. But I called and made them correct it at once, and I'm disgusted. That's completely wrong. If we were not the happy couple we are, that sort of thing could be very, very unfortunate. An account that's jointly held by two people DOES NOT get put on a statement with one that is held by only one of those people. It DOES NOT get sent to only one of them. IMO.

I don't handle the personal stuffies as often as household, and was starting to wonder where the household stuff WAS - hadn't occurred to me they'd do this. Of course, as proof that my time sense is not useful, this statement goes back to mid-July. Sigh. Balancing, balancing....

The little bank fun earlier aside, all is good. Bills are paid. Some of the laundry is folded and put away. I got bored partway through. So sue me? At least some of it is put away. I'll probably try to get the rest tomorrow night, but we'll see. I went through the beading magazines and book I had not (this is really a quick look for inspiration, coupled with a check to see if the had anything I really wanted to learn how to do, just now). That was fun.

Groceries were also bought today.

Tomorrow - hmmm. News update, which needs to get done, for Ephemera, probably. And maybe beadwork or drawing or playing with the printer to print cool things or...yeah. And emptying the dishwasher. Not a whole lot of "must do" there. Which is really sweet. Maybe read more in one of the library books. They're getting to outnumber me again, which amuses and somewhat pleases me. Only somewhat because I do want to read them before they all collapse on me in a pile of due dates! I love my online renewal option.... Maybe I'll look at the ones on drawing tomorrow. I picked them up to see if they'd give me techniques, ideas, or inspiration. Odds are they'll go back without yielding much, so it shouldn't take too long to figure out if there's anything there that is useful and I'm in a mood to use....

And now I go to bed, before I meander into doing something else. Hee.
