I am compulsively conscientious about paying bills. I really like the option of bill pay on line from my bank, because the day I receive a bill, I can schedule a payment. And, I can check back every month to make sure the payments have been scheduled or made as required.
So, this week, I received a bill. And after I looked through the other mail, I threw out the bill with the "junk mail." I did not mean to do that. It was the bill for my membership to the Lifestyle Center. So, when I drove up to the Lifestyle Center parking lot Wednesday night, it occurred to me that I had seen the bill, and did not act on it (I usually just bring the payment with me when I go in to the center.) So, after I went home, I went looking for the bill. And it was nowhere. I could not believe that I had thrown it out with the junk mail, but went to the bag in the garage that holds the junk mail until I take it to the dumpster, and there was the bill.
I have become a little careless about other minor things recently. I am not sure if it is due to being preoccupied, or maybe because I am struggling with ongoing pain that I am always trying to mitigate, or it is due to aging. Or what. But this is a trend I have noticed. It is not too serious yet, but I need to monitor myself better.
