	<h2>General news</h2>
	<p>
		I stopped by Bi-Mart to check the lucky number drawing for the week, then continued to the credit union to deposit my pay cheque.
		I&apos;d planned to deposit it yesterday, but decided to postpone it a day so I could hit Bi-Mart on the same trip.
		I took a route home that led past my mother&apos;s house, not thinking she&apos;d be there, but wanted to see just in case.
		She actually was home this time, so I dropped in.
		She&apos;s still blaming my &quot;telephone&quot; for the communication issues.
		I keep trying to explain that there&apos;s no telephone on my end and that I&apos;m using email, but she doesn&apos;t seem to get it.
		I explained to her though that my messages are getting through to her carrier, and explained how I&apos;d know if they weren&apos;t because my email provider would let me know about messages that failed to deliver.
		I explained it&apos;s her carrier failing to get the messages to her.
		I&apos;m not sure this made any impact on her understanding of the situation though.
		Alyssa was there as well, so I got to see my sister for the fist time in a while.
	</p>
	<p>
		When I got home, one of my neighbours alerted me to the fact that another neighbour is giving away a bed.
		Sweet!
		I went and talked to them about it, and they&apos;re giving it away once their new bed arrives, which will be within the next couple weeks.
		From the sound of it, there&apos;s a mattress and a frame, but no headboard or footboard.
		Perfect!
		I don&apos;t need a headboard/footboard, but it&apos;d be nice to get my bed up off the ground.
		As an added bonus, the mattress is still in plastic, so it&apos;s probably in great condition (at least on the outside) and clean.
		I can&apos;t be sure the frame is included though.
		They said the bed had &quot;the metal part&quot;, which I assume to be the frame, but as they were giving it away, I felt it&apos;d be rude to try to get them to elaborate.
	</p>
	<p>
		Discover is still pestering me about giving them Yst Dawson&apos;s Social Security number.
		I think I outright ignored their last two requests, not even noting them in my journal.
		This time, I took the opportunity to ask them for a new card.
		They have this option where you can request as many cards with different designs as you want, and they&apos;ll all have the same card holder name printed on them and will all be linked to the same account.
		I think as they continue pestering me, I&apos;ll keep asking for new card designs, if I think I&apos;d actually use those designs.
		This time, I chose their rainbow design, which they named &quot;Pride&quot;.
		To be honest, this might be the only extra design I request, besides the basic, light blue one they start you with.
		I might also get their pink, monogrammed one, but maybe not.
		I&apos;d be less on the fence about it if it came in other colours besides pink.
		Pink&apos;s okay, but it&apos;s not really my colour.
