Credit

We leave for the United States in five weeks and six days. I am excited and nervous. I know the time will fly because I have so much to do in the meantime--and so many things to buy. I still haven't bought warm clothing. (It was 33 degrees here today, so warm clothing was the last thing on my mind.) I also haven't bought wedding clothes of any sort. Or travel insurance. I did, however, extend my credit limit today. A week ago, the bank sent me a letter offering to double my credit card limit. "While you may not use your new limit every day," the letter said, "it's reassuring to know that it's there if you need it." I accepted. What the hell. You don't get married every day, either.
