Eggnog pancakes for breakfast today! It's truly the Christmas season. Today is a day to wrap presents, bake cookies, and tie up any loose ends. Probably to plan my Christmas meal and make sure I have everything I need on hand. Nice to not have other obligations today to interfere. Tomorrow we will go to Mass at 8 am so we can leave immediately afterward for Mayville for an overnight at the Audubon Inn. If we go early, we will have lunch at a nice little Italian bistro in Mayville, then drive out to the Horicon Marsh to either drive or hike, dependent on weather. We will take in the Visitor's Center and plan a short jaunt, hopefully returning to check in at our hotel around 3 to take in the Packer game. I have ascertained that we do have a TV in the room, or we can choose to go down to the lovely bar room where I'm sure it will be also broadcast. This is Wisconsin, after all. Quite a day. I seem to have discovered a possible reason for the issues with my email. Apparently someone got some identifying information re: my Kohls charge, possibly from the email receipt from my online purchases. They then proceeded to order some other things, notably a large Keurig coffeemaker and a Ninja blender system, the first on 12/17 and the second today. The coffeemaker was delivered here this afternoon, to my amazement. I checked my account and it had been charged on my card as an online order. After talking to several people on the Kohl's line, I was able to get them to cancel the card and they are assigning an investigator to check things out. They suggested I call the credit agency and also file a police report, which I also did. We returned the coffeemaker to the local Kohl's store so it was taken off my bill. The woman on the phone seemed most concerned about cancelling any possible rewards earned by the purchases. The only motivation I can imagine is that whoever hacked my email got the Kohls cash numbers from the rewards emails and planned to use it to get free stuff in the store. Sigh.
