Uncle Sam came through for me today. I filed my taxes electronically about two weeks ago and said 'go on, direct deposit'. The refund hit my account today. I'd been planning on making it into a pair of large credit card payments, so when I heard the numbers, I went to my cards' online bill-paying pages. Card #1 was numbers I pretty much expected, so I just told it how many hundreds and left it at that. Card #2... Card #2 made me blink. I didn't remember having that kind of money available. Then I saw that they'd raised my credit limit on card #2 for the first time in something like two years.
I paid them the same as I'd paid card #1. when I get home, Card #2 is getting thrown into the dark places under my bed. Considering that I don't have an under the bed - I have a platform bed - this will make it very very hard indeed to get at that credit card unless I"m willing to disassemble the entire thing and put it back together. Since that endeavor takes around an hour and a half - I've had to do it before - this should keep me safe from doing anything especially stupid.
I did, however, leave myself some of the refund money. Suncoast Video, here I come.
