money is weird

[mamajoan]

I just balanced my checkbook and discovered that Isaac's afterschool program apparently did not cash a check that I wrote to them back in May. This is weird and I'm not sure what to do with it. Also I'm not sure why I'm just noticing this now, since I have balanced my checkbook several times since May! I guess I'll try to give them a call.

I also received in the mail a check from Ruthie's former daycare, with a notation saying simply that it's a "refund." The amount of the check is not the amount of my weekly payments there -- although now that I think about it, possibly it's the amount that my weekly payments were when she was in the toddler room? In any case this is also weird and I'm leery of cashing the check. But I also don't really want to call them. but I guess I oughta.

Speaking of Ruthie and school, her new preschool is going pretty well. She still get super-clingy at morning dropoff time, but that's typical for her. And she's always very cheerful at pickup time, and talks happily about the fun things she did. So I think she's doing well.

And speaking of money stuff, it's uh, under control. ;) I guess maybe I should check my credit card balance before I say that though. ;) An unfortunate downside of starting my new job on the 14th of the month is that I missed the 15th-of-the-month payday so I won't get paid until the last day of the month. But on the plus side, that should be a pretty nice big check. So there's that to look forward to.

And speaking of the new job, it's going quite well so far. I'm completely exhausted, but that's to be expected. The commute is giving me major headaches, which I shall perhaps have to post about sometime soon. But the job itself is looking good thus far. And that's all I shall say about that.

When Zoe changed daycares, I got her last 2 weeks free, or a refund check (don't remember which) because I'd put down a 2 week deposit when she first started. Could it be something like that?
