I felt a little better that Madame X over at my open wallet had just made the same mistake that I did, namely forgetting to pay a bill or two. I had the same sentiment that she did: what is wrong with me? At least I was able to reverse most of the related charges. I feel so out of it nowadays. Hardly have any energy left.
