Credit card crisis

Happy new year!

Coming back from vacation in Veracruz and between bus, taxi and plane transfers, I lost my credit card yesterday, causing a few moments of panic and desperation. After revising my backpacks a few dozen times and searching for a possible magic pocket my card may have slipped into, I gave up hope and called the bank. Luckily, nobody had used the card, but I blocked it anyway. I have another day yet until it is unsuspended, but I’m going to cancel it. The good news: no more never-ending holes of debt. The bad news: no more plastic conveniences.
