The ups and downs of the last 24 hours

Good day:

My soon-to-be expiring debit card, which I use a lot for automatic payments, still hasn't arrived in the mail from the bank. Records show that the new one was shipped in late August. I checked a few weeks ago and asked the bank if I should be worried that it hadn't shown up yet. They said not to worry. I checked with them again today and apparently the card was shipped to the wrong address. They corrected the address and it should be here within a week, which is good because my current card expires on October 1st.

Our tax refund from Ottawa county finally showed up. We were overpaying our taxes ever since we moved into this house because for some reason, they did not have this house marked down as our primary homestead. I was surprised how much taxes were in the past and this explains why. We certainly don't own a second home anywhere. I'm just disappointed and embarrassed that we didn't notice this when the first tax bill came in. I shouldn't feel too bad because this is our first house and it wasn't obvious on the bill at all.

Bad day:

I've had this cough for about a 4 days now, due to serious drainage issues in my sinuses and such. Really annoying, but it upped the ante last night when my throat was sore and got to the point where for some reason, it was triggering my gag reflex. So I spent a decent chunk of the night by the toilet, but not actually puking, just making the sounds and muscle movements - nothing actually came out except once. I've been doing it today too - being a "fake" puker - not on purpose, and at random times. It is a mystery. I do feel sick overall so I do think I have some sort of bug (non-computer related).

I was afraid to eat anything again until recently.
