Astonished

Marty Sunshine came home for lunch the other day with a suspect envelope. Though I hadn't asked him, he had swung by the post office box on his way home.

"What is that?" I asked, eyeing the envelope sitting on my counter, like it was a scorpion covered in slime.

"It looks like a rent check from Ms. Kathy." He said in such a way that he considers this a typical every month occurrence.

I held my breath as I opened it, knowing for sure there would be some sort of letter, explaining why she only sent me a partial rent payment. Instead, I found a full rent payment and no excuses.

Is it too early to suggest--with a track record of five months of perfect behavior (out of 26 months) that Ms. Kathy is off my Problem Tenant list?
