Oh please help me to be patient. Some days it is so very difficult.
Since H is staying w/ his friend rent-free, and it's walking distance to his job, he has very few expenses. So he has been giving me pretty much his entire paycheck since he moved out. That has been going very smoothly, up until 2 weeks ago, when he was a couple of days late in getting it to me. But hey, stuff happens - it was no big deal. This week, however, it is a big deal. He is 4 days late with the check, and I've already dropped off the rent check. Without his check, I'm about $50 short. He told me yesterday, when I offered to come there to pick it up, that he would deposit it first thing this morning, no problem. Checked the account at noon - no deposit. Called him to ask about it (very politely), and he said he had deposited the check, maybe it hadn't gone through yet. Just checked the account again (now nearly 6PM) and still no deposit showing. If my rent check bounces, I'm afraid I might lose my hard-fought-for patience.
