Today I went to the gas station to fill up the pick up. The low fuel light was on so it was vital that I get gas. I swiped my card at the pump. It said "see cashier." I waited for the pump to reset. Tried again. Same thing. So I tried my other card. Same thing. I tired them both probably three times.
I went inside and thought I'd prepay. I asked the lady at the counter to check my card. She swiped it an said it had been reported stolen. STOLEN! It is my card with my name on it. She took the card and wouldn't give it back even thught she checked my I.D. Which has VOID punched in it because I'm waiting for this states license to come in the mail. Now I'm with out a debit, or credit card.
I got in the truck and called the bank. Appearantly they cancelled my cards with some sort of a block because important information about my account was stolen by a middle-man company. The cards are being sent but won't be here for seven to ten days. There is a credit union here in town that I could get money from if I had a license that didn't say VOID on it. What the HELL! I'm stuck here without any gas and I needed groceries like milk for my baby cause we aren't doing formula anymore and I can't do anything. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday and the only vehicle with any gas is my car that's stuck on the street, cause the snow is so deep around it.
My week is pretty much goone to crap. I really feel alone, and ridiculous. My "low fuel" light is still on and I don't ever carry cash so it's going to be a rough few days till I figure something out. If you have any advice feel free to send it my way.

I don't know the only thing I can think of is that saying, "when life gets too hard to stand kneel." Sounds like a trial. I am not sure what you are being prepared for but I wish you the best. Sorry.
I cant believe she wouldnt give it back! Is that legal!? I would be in shock!
Good grief, Spoonsy! You can't catch a break!
Do you have pennies and spare change anywhere around the house? I say you gather all of the annoying change you have lying around--anywhere you can find it--return to that same gas station (be certain the same woman is working that shift), and slowly count out exact change. Emphasis on SLOWLY. Even if it is for $5.43 worth of gas, this would be cathartic for you. Take your time. Find as many pennies as you can.
Then call your visiting/home teacher and tell them your awful situation and that you need some milk. I would so bring you a gallon or two. And I'd find annoying change to contribute to the stupid gas station attendant cause.
I like the idea of visiting/home teacher idea. Hey, that's what they're there for. I ought to know, I'm a district super. :)
