Most of my doctors pay by check, some handwritten checks and envelopes, which is nuts. I pay some things by check, but via bill pay where my bank writes the actual check.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

ltc probably has an ear infection. So, no school again today. She’s being seen by her pediatrician this afternoon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, poor ltc, and poor you!
I pay my rent by check, and also my massage therapist and cleaning people -- it saves them the fees from paying with Venmo or whatever. Bring back checks!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I think the only checks we've written in the past 12 months have all been to the contractor who basically redid our yard. Everything else is online.
As for mortgages, we bought this house in 2010, and I think we're on our 5th or 6th bank holding the loan now? And the last two have had needlessly cutesy names that I think they think sound more friendly and approachable, but I'm sorry, your calling yourself Mr. Cooper doesn't make you think you're some nice guy helping me get a house, and NewRez makes me think of the problems surrounding Indian reservations and Native American legal issues in general, not my house.
Of course, it's possible I just have a weird brain.

NewRez is a super weird name for that Susan, totally agree!!
I pay almost all my bills by bank electronic bill pay, a few I Venmo or Zelle (the cleaners, my dog daycare), I think only the one place I go for electrolysis only takes cash or check, so is the only place I’ve been using checks in forever!

Susan, I make my mortgage payments to Shellpoint but they sometimes refer to themselves as NewRez and I'm so curious about both those names!
Last time I had to pay for something with a check it was easier to go to the post office and get a money order.

I like auto-pay and bill pay for the "won't miss it or forget" aspect, but I always liked writing checks. Whenever I have to find my checkbook now, though, it usually takes a minute.
Lunch break from team meeting, which is a good meeting. Last night we went to a fab Mexican dinner and super fun escape room thing. I'd never done one before, SO MUCH FUN. It was my first. Now I'm going to plan one with my peeps at home.

My new company is Mr. Cooper, and it gave me a moment of worrying that my mortgage could be sold to a private individual before I looked it up online. I am not a fan. Though at least they did send me an introductory email soon after the prior mortgage company told me about the switch, so maybe they're responsive? We'll see once they have my account transferred over in the next week or so.
I pay electricity/water and medical bills by check, but almost everything else is online or charged to a credit card.

Oh yeah, I went to an escape room a few years ago and loved it, and have never gone back! I should round up some people for that.
