RE: Back up your crypto wallet today!
This really helped answer some of my questions. I'm bookmarking it for later, in case my blockchain knowledge gets foggy again. Thanks scalextrix!

Well it is really complicated, when I first learned about 'change addresses' I was shocked, because in the wallet you dont see this level of detail.
Yes, exactly. On the block explorer I had new addresses appearing out of nowhere and I had no idea why.
Bingo! Im still unclear myself how the wallet shows you your original address, even though it really sent the change back to a new new one. I suspect it may be to do with the difference between an address, a private key and a public key, but I confess I couldnt be certain enough to give you an explanation I was happy with.
