Disclaimer

Though a "Diary" my online diary is a work of FICTION.

It may at times strongly reflect actual events of my life, often how I honestly perceived them and display my genuine reactions. But not always and everything contained within should be treated as a fiction.

This is also a personal diary, so by reading it you are violating my privacy. And as it is a personal diary you are not allowed to hold anything you read in it against me, as you shouldn't have been reading it anyway.

Also, this diary is not to be read by anyone who has gone out with me, would like to go out with me in the future, or suspects I may like to go out with them.

Expensive failure to pay attention

I was looking at some nerd stuff online.  The shop was UK based but had a pop up tell me it recognised that I was in NZ and put prices into dollars.

I didn't not read the pop-up properly.

It was in US dollars.  So they things I bought that were an excessive overspend for what they were turned out to be almost twice the level of mistake I had expected.   Almost $200 more than I had accepted I was stupidly spending.


It might not have made a difference.  I have been having a bad run with my very minor reduction in pain meds (slightly worried how further steps will play out) and it seems to be draining my mental resources enough that my impulse control is going awfully.  I have been buying a lot of dumb stuff I don't need and can't really afford online.

It will end badly.
