I am still in my pajamas as it was a stay-at-home day. Can’t say it was a relaxing one though as I ran into some computer issues.
I wanted to open a new Venmo account for Love in Action, Inc. They can’t do charity accounts as you have to send a tax form for all donations over $250 and Venmo doesn’t provide mailing addresses for donors. My next option is a charity account with PayPal. They offer reduced fees for charities and provide information needed to send the required tax forms.
I have had nothing but trouble trying to open a Love in Action, Inc. account with PayPal. Since I use a small bank I have to enter the numbers manually. For some reason they are not taking the information but not saying why.
I had to open a new email account for Love In Action, Inc. so PayPal would know the difference between my personal account and the charity account. They needed to send me a confirmation email to open the email account. It took me forever to figure out how to open the new email account. Got that figured out but still don’t have the PayPal confirmed. I need to get to my bank account on-line and I don’t have the information from the bank yet to do that.
Sometimes these things are not as simple as I think they should be. I had some good advice from a friend though. He said to take a deep breath and start over from the beginning and go slow! How right he was. Thanks Richard! That advice probably works for most things in life.
After I get the on-line information for the new bank account for Love In Action, Inc. I will attempt PayPal again. I think they have to send two small deposits to confirm the account and then I have to tell them how much they were. Can’t do anything more until I can open the bank account on-line. That should happen sometime next week.
I know what I know about computers and sometimes it is not enough. I find it extremely frustrating when days like this happen. Silly me for thinking this would be easy. Cause and effect is hitting me hard again. I didn’t anticipate any of this when I solved one problem and created several others. And this too shall pass – maybe like a kidney stone – but it will pass!
Still full of snot but Kathy gave me a generic Flonase and it has helped. Next time I go to Emporia I will get some Flonase and see if that helps. It sure burns when it goes in though.
No plans for tomorrow. I may watch the Chiefs game if nothing else comes up. Kathy is going to a movie with some friends. She will enjoy that. I am not a big fan of going to the movie theater so I am staying home. I really don’t want to get the flu so am avoiding people as much as possible between now and the 15th. I do have to go to Emporia for a haircut Monday and will stop and pick up some groceries but I will wear a mask and get in and out as soon as possible.
Hulu has The Pitt on and I am binge watching it. I had heard good reviews about it and I am enjoying it. It is a bit realistic in places but I like that. Noah Wyle is a favorite of mine from ER days. He is all grown up now!
Feeling a bit frustrated with the day. Hoping tomorrow it will be an easier day. Not sure why these things seem hard sometimes. I keep reminding myself why I am doing it and that makes it a bit easier to plow through.
Grateful I got the new email confirmed at least, grateful tomorrow is a new day and a new chance to fix this, and grateful for friends that give great advice.
