(Old) Getting up steam in the MMP

My day held typical work-related stuff…meetings, tasks, etc. I got through it, but I’d say that my steam was weaker than usual: after getting home from my BFFs last night I stayed up watching the Tony awards* and finally crashed at around 12:30am, only to be awakened 3.5 hours later when Bailey decided it was barking time. Sigh.

*The only awards show I ever watch.

Dinner went really well yesterday…until I tried to Zelle my “nephew” the chunk-o-cash I’m gifting him and his GF for their impending move and typo-ed his cell phone number. :woman_facepalming: Luckily, at the penultimate step I finally saw that I was about to send a good amount of money to a complete stranger: the payment has been stuck in “on hold” status since then, pending that last step. I can’t send another payment until the hold is cleared, and there’s no way to cancel it. I called my credit union a little while ago, and they can’t cancel a pending payment either: the woman I talked to said my best bet is to keep doing nothing, and within 1-2 days my entire Zelle account will be frozen (vs just the pending payment) and then the CU can unfreeze it. I’d have to reinitiate any pending payments, meaning the bad one will be effectively cancelled. Then I can make the payment to my nephew. I also tried calling Zelle’s customer service, just in case, but they were less helpful than my CU (Zelle is really just a middleman service with no ability to start or end payment requests).

It’s my own fault: I was multitasking and using my phone, and I should have just used WifeBFF’s iPad. At least I caught it before I actually sent the money, but I’m pretty annoyed with myself. I let my nephew know that it will be another day or two before I can send him the money…I’m glad they’re here for two weeks and don’t need it right away!

Yay! :tada:

This is the opposite of what I usually do to my BFFs and my two other closest friends, all of whom are 10-13 years older than me. :grin:

Ooooo I love mint tea.
