It gave me the giggles--although that might have been partly out of relief at getting the darned thing paid. I think I may have set a record for blowing through a benefits check. An hour after it was deposited, I was down to 39 cents.

I'm doing a lot of deep breathing...that took care of car and homeowners, though, and the worst of the past-due on my water bill. Cable wanted more than I was prepared to pay, but I gave them what I could and had a talk with one of their CSRs, so they won't turn me off before my next check shows up.

Breathe in, breathe out....

I've noticed with helping out our social services clients that utility companies are more willing this year to take partial payments. I guess the new reality has started biting them hard too.
