The check came! Happy Dance!

So the only real stress I've been dealing with the past two weeks was getting the money to pay for this cycle.  They need $5k up front from us.  We sent a check in to pay off our previous 401K loan on Sept 3rd thinking "Thats enough time".  Our impression was the check needed to be in by the 6th and be processed then.  They did NOT tell us that yes it needed to be processed then, but then there would still be one last payment on Sept 13th out of Jeff's check.  Meaning we couldn't get a new 401K loan until that had fully processed (ie we could ask for a new one on Sept.16th because we can't do it over the weekend).

So fine, we did it on Monday but learned they can't direct deposit if you'd not done that before without it taking two weeks.  Wha?!?! :::Deep breath:::  OK, it said the check would be here in 3-5 business days.  But my baseline was Wednesday.  What if they asked for the money?  I had my sob story all worked out in my head.  And stressed over it laying awake the night before.  But thankfully baseline day came and they didn't ask at the office so I flew out of there as if my pants were on fire.  But then when they called with the bloodwork results and to set up Monday's appointment they said "And we'll need your deposit then."

Ok.  No problem.  Check will arrive Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.

Well Thursday.  No check...just my target pharmacy rewards.  ::::taps foot impatiently::::

Friday.  Nope - just some junk mail saying I've won a travel voucher.  ::::Starts sweating from the pressure::::

Saturday.  I'm almost too nervous that it won't be there that I ask Jeff to get the mail and promptly fall asleep to take a nap (I'm like an ostrich sticking my head in the ground hoping the world disappears).  Later I hear the door shut and I open my eyes just long enough to ask, "Did the check come?"  "Yep"  And drift back to peaceful dreams.  Half an hour later I woke up worried it was a dream but nope - it was real.  Woohoo!
Happy Dance time!

Oh and....Jeff found out last week he paid off his student loan for law school at DePaul.  I've joked that it would take until he retires for that debt to be paid off.  Hell, that alone should be celebrated.  20 years, but damnit my baby paid of law school!!

Yeah.  You could say we're pretty excited over here.  They say money can't buy you happiness.  But it sure as hell can ease your mind and stress I'll tell you that much.
