Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'...

Today's To Do list involved:
[o] Going to the bank to deposit the large pile of rolled coins I forgot we had, and change some of them into quarters so we can continue doing laundry.
[o] Editing the other two articles.
[o] Buying some Tylenol and looking into switching my prescription to a CVS here in Indiana.
[o] Looking into the cost of shipping my iPod Touch to Chris (part of the iPad deal)
[o] Researching credit card transfers to see if any would help me out.
[o] Continuing the creation of a budget. I am thoroughly enjoying this because it involves SPREADSHEETS!
[o] Watching some Avater: The Last Airbender Book 2 with Ryan, as promised.

The coins: My bank doesn't take rolled coins. They'll take loose coins and machine-count them and take off 5%, ala CoinStar, but that's it. The teller suggested I try a grocery store, "like Kroger." I go to Kroger, they don't change them, either. One of the employees mentions that her uncle gets his coins changed at 1st Source Bank, and he's not an account holder. I call Ryan, he tells me where the nearest branch is. I go there--huzzah! No limit of how many rolls I can cash! No need for an account! All I had to do was write my name and number on each roll. A small price to pay to finally have my damned money!

For the record, that was $61 in 8 rolls of dimes, 5 rolls of nickels, and twenty-two rolls of pennies. Yes, thirty-five rolls of coins, each one marked with my name and number. Whee!

I got Tylenol, so that's done. Easy.

I got a credit card offer in the mail that may be doable, although it's for an American Express Blue Sky card. I don't travel, and I've heard iffy things about AmEx, so...*shrug* I'll see what else I can find.

All that's left is looking into the costs of shipping the iPod Touch, editing two articles, and doing something with Ryan. Avatar may be out, as Sameh has a friend over to watch some True Blood, plus Ry and I have been wanting to level some characters together.

The articles may be pushed until tomorrow, either before work or during my lunch. I also got myself an iPad case today, so I can take it to work with me! Woo!

As an added bonus, I worked out today. Two days in a row! WOW!

Off I go to finish stuff off. Tomorrow is back to the grind, with not antoher day off until next Tuesday. Must remember: money GOOD.
