My address, my social security number, .. I offered my DL number

Worthless

I think, if you don't mind me saying, that you need to set up a savings account today. You need to reassert your identity.

Would if I could

I am.. short of cash to do that. To be blunt and overshare and embarrass myself\

I'll talk to some folks and see what I can do

I'll call the IRS itself. See what I can do there.

Yeah, I think that's your best bet.

Find out what the minimum is for a savings deposit and see if you can get a small loan from friends/family just to set it up? It might be a low amount if the stars are right

The guy at Transunion was polite, but locked into a script

I know that might not be possible, but just spitballing ideas

I may Rae, but right now, as far as American society sees, I'm less me than whoever may have taken my name

The fucker. 😠

An "un person' I think is the phrase for Orwellian times. TO be fair, it's not the government giving me trouble, just the corporate side

I'm holding out hope it was just "your number MAY have been breached..." like a bunch of data was hacked, and nothing specific happened with your data

But the government is having the coprorate side as required so ... yeah

Me too

Perhaps the housemates could put one of the utility bills in your name. It sounds like you're in a very secure relationship with them and no worries about it BEING paid, and it could help you build up that credit history

Maybe. For now though I'm going to game and let my anxiety settle

That's actually a really good idea, Rae.

Lunch, with a little number I'm calling 'Harvest salad.' ((Hugs D!))

All stuff from the garden, Shady?

Sadly no, Isuck as a gardener.

It's 2 kinds of letuce, apples, pecans, cranberries, chicken, bleu cheese crumbles and an apple cider vinegarette.

Oh, that sounds DELICIOUS.

Oh, and corn Itook off the cobb.

It's pretty good!

Mmmm

Not sure about lunch here - nothing leftover ready to eat,but meeting at 1pm so I can't really play around with much. Might be a cup noodle?

I made marinade for dinner. White wine, mustard, balsamic, olive oil

yay noodles!

Yeah, I'm in lunch ambiguity myself. Might chew on the last of the leftover steak.

Or might just eat a whole lot of leftover cake frosting. Decisions, decisions....

Ooooo

Turkey sammich & cherry tomatoes & pringles.

maybe grapes

Confession time: I ate a large amount of potato chips yesterday. A large amount. I am not pleased with myself.

it can be very easy

"just one more"

Yeah... if I don't remember to look down and do a visual check a half bag of nacho cheese doritos can vanish

Just.... poof!!

Yup.

mmmm, chips

I try not to let them in the house

they're insidious!

I need to restart that jogging thing I was doing back in December. I finally feel pretty much back to normal, post-surgery-wise, but so very out of shape it's ridiculous.
