I am doing far better. I'm a little irritable but that seems to be of late a normal state for me. Still, I do not have the anxiety about the mail/cheque situation. What's done is done. I have done everything that could have been done and resolved a big portion of the problem. I can't control the rest. I can only do my best to plan/budget accordingly. As for the quaterly benefit, I need to get out of the habit of counting on/assuming it will come and budget as per normal - and definitely never ever spend the money before I get it.
