The cheque I’m waiting for, which should have been mailed on the 3rd at the latest but did not get to the post until the 6th at who knows what time, is still not here. It’s a substantial cheque and I really don’t want to leave without it being in the bank. So I am stuck here until Tuesday at least since this is a long weekend (Thanksgiving).
I have no food to speak of and the kitchen is packed and spotless. So now, I have to make a run to Willow Bunch to get non-perishables (fridge is off) for the weekend, unpack, and plan to reclean the kitchen on Monday.
For November onward, the cheques will be sent to my mother in QC for depositing, but I thought that I could wait here for the October one to arrive. What a mistake that was! đ The delay is such a snowball in that even when the cheque does get it, the bulk of it will be frozen for up to two weeks. I can still take off, but my budget for the first bit of my trip will be much tighter than it would have needed to be.
I’m glad that I accepted as much work as I did for this past week, otherwise I would be quite angry today!
You just can’t depend on people to do what they are supposed to do. Who knows why this particular individual needed to keep the money in their own account for a little longer. Sorry it’s messing up your travel plans.
I know what’s been going on and it has nothing to do with money at either end. It’s just life stuff. I just wish I had gone with my gut instinct and had that cheque sent to my mother.
