So Hard to Pay

I dropped off the clothes at a clothing box.  I had heard the one by Safeway was overflowing so I didn't even try that one.  I directly went to the one across the street.  I had no problem getting the whole box of clothes in the drop box.  Another errand ticked off our list.
Then I went to pay for Mom's service and arrangements.  Well the debit card was denied.  Before I had left I had made sure the funds had been released.  More than enough money in the account to pay the bill.  And yet, the card was denied.  The funeral home was very kind about it.  I was not embarrassed.  I know the money is there.  So I tell them I will be back with money or a check. 
I'm heading home to get the checkbook when I realize I have to drive right past the bank. So instead I swing in and wait in line.  I'm sure it was still quicker than going home and coming back. 
I get a cashiers check and head back to the funeral home.  So it is paid for.  I don't think I have ever had that much work to pay a bill before.  Another errand finally off the list.  ;p
