Good morning! Today’s post will link up to The Sunday Salon and The Sunday Post for weekly updates.
Mailbox Monday is hosted at the home site: Mailbox Monday.
And let’s join Kathryn, our leader in It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?, at Book Date.
***
Welcome to another Weekly Update. This week, I actually read and reviewed two books, and they were both awesome. Between reading, I wrote two blog posts and did some more viewing on Switched at Birth. The rest of the week was pretty horrendous, in that the rain came down rather violently at times.
I had some issues with my bank account being hacked, so I had to spend time at the bank setting up a new one! I’m still waiting for my bank card, which was supposed to arrive today…but it was delayed. Sigh.
I am not looking forward to all the hassle that goes with a new account, but I am trying to stay calm as I organize my new reality and try not to stress out too much.
Let’s take a peek at the details of the week:
***
Review: Trust Me, by T. M. Logan
Review: The Kind Worth Saving, by Peter Swanson (This was my one book purchase this week).
***
That was my week. This coming week, I’m hoping for sunshine and no horrific events that will take over my life! Tonight I want to eat something delicious, but since it’s still bad weather, it will have to be something I cook. Sigh. Perhaps something like this:

AN INTERIOR JOURNEY 
You definitely need a better week. How awful about the bank hacking. Such a nuisance. And the rain sounds horrible. Wishing you a sunshine week.

Thanks, Kathryn, I am hoping for sunshine…and to get through all the nuisance of figuring out my banking! Waiting for the bank card is another issue that is keeping me off balance. Here’s hoping for a better week. Enjoy yours.

My credit card info was stolen and items charged to it and this really freaked me out. Luckily, I had the charges dismissed and the card replaced but closed the account as I still didn’t feel safe with someone having my info.
Hope you have a better week.

Thanks, Harvee, my account was compromised, but no money stolen. I still needed a new account and new card, though. I’m still waiting for the card, which was supposed to arrive yesterday…but now scheduled for tomorrow. I need that card!

Ugh! I am so sorry about your week. I am glad that you caught the issue with your bank account though and can get it straightened out, although that does cause such a pain in the butt!
Hopefully this week is much better~

Thanks, AJ, luckily no money was stolen, but just enough tampering to require a whole new account and bank card, sigh.

I’m still waiting for Wells Fargo to set up my two new accounts, just so that I can get my mom’s money out of Wells and somewhere more user friendly, so I totally your new bank account pain.
I learned one bit of wisdom from the Financial Advisor that’s helping me with Wells. He said make sure you have a credit card for your bank account, not a plain-old debit card. Debit cards are easier to hack and don’t offer the protection that a credit card has.
I hope the weather gets better soon so you can go out to eat and that nothing else happens this week to disrupt your life in a negative fashion. LOL

That is always distressing to have an account hacked. I recently had to replace a debit card. Fortunately I saw the unauthorized charge right away and was able to freeze the account, reverse the low improper charges, and get a new card within a couple of weeks.
I like the looks of The Kind Worth Saving. I hope you do get sunshine and more good reading!

Thanks, Martha, it was more than having just a new card. I had to open a whole new account, even though no money went missing. The bank just decided that the compromise of the account was reason enough to create a new account.
My card has arrived now and I’ve changed all of my online accounts with the new number.
