Identity Fraud/Goals

There is nothing like ending a nice fun filled Saturday by having your husband come in and say "since when did we open a Sears Citi card"?  Um, say what??  Yep.  We had a bill for a Sears purchase of ladies apparel on 12/27 for 47.00 (why they didn't go to town on the card is beyond me).  I remember that a card came in the mail and I had put it on the shredder (one that we DID NOT order).  It matched numbers.  When we called, the ss number and dob, matched their records.  Needless to say the card was cancelled immediately.  I spent 30 long minutes on the phone yesterday since someone stole my identity.  I have a 7 year fraud alert put on me so that if any credit is applied for they have to do some serious investigating before allowing the credit.  How scary!!  I felt physically sick for two days over this!!  I finally have some relief over it now that I know they will be monitoring my credit closely.  This is what happens when you share your ss number on line or so something like that, not to someone who minds their own business and doesn't use credit cards much.  I thought it might be a Target linked thing since I shopped Target.com over those dates, but she assured me that was not it.

On the brighter side, I stuck to my running goal for January....it was hard with snow days and life in general, but I got it done.  I think I will stick to two days a week for February, but maybe now up it to 1.5 miles.  I got up today at 4:45 to go to the gym to run only to find my calf was in pain again so I knew I needed to give it rest.  I've had a lot of pain lately in the back of my calf  lately (my fat calves that I can't wear boots) .  It had gotten much better, but I think it has come back after yesterday.  I am hoping this doesn't slow me down any.  I'm giving it much ibuprofen and heat/ice today and hope that I can get back at it this weekend.
