I'm sure it being Me Day probably helped with the mood. I have this weird thing where I love taking myself off on my own somewhere - even if it's just shopping, which it was today. I just seem to be more confident when I'm on my own. Is it simply because I know whatever happens I have to deal with it myself? I'm not sure. Whatever the reason, when the woman in the bank asked me if I wanted a quick interview to review my account I said yes. Me - the person who hates talking to people I don't know; the person who especially hates interviews when I don't know what the outcome will be. But off I popped, calm as can be. Me and the woman talked about jobs, dog-sitting, breeding dogs, mobile phones and holidays in France. Sometimes when I'm nervous (or excited) I'll talk non-stop at about a hundred miles per hour but it wasn't that kind of talking. It was like how normal people speak. Just making small talk, being polite and sharing stories.
I'm not sure if that was the reason why she gave me a credit card. Me, who has no proper job and hardly any money left in my bank account. Maybe on her computer screen it said if I acted normal I should be rewarded with what normal people have - credit ;) It has a ridiculous limit on it but it's not like I'm going to use it. It's sort of like a bumper for if something breaks and we need to get it fixed asap and don't have the funds up front. Still, I was very impressed with my calmness, my chattiness and that in this crazy world someone without a job can have a credit card ;)
The rest of the day went just as well. The sun came out so I got to lunch outside. I wrote lots, had chips from the chip shop for tea, and spent the evening walking the dogs (Sweepie had to be fished out of the pond!) and hanging out in the garden. All said: a great day :)
