In the future (if applicable), I will make note in The Journal under a "RENT:" tag.

The concept is simple enough: rather than handing over money directly or placing safely in the same spot, I forked over the dough in different ways... well, mostly differently, but consistent enough in the delivery so as to form a pattern.

In a Book of Poems

In a Cupcake Container

Under a Vase of Artificial Flowers

In the Coffee Jar

Mixed in among the Ornamental Pumpkins

Tucked into the evergreen garland 

Presented as a bill in a restaurant style ledger with Pokemon Jinx Card

Six bills tucked into keyboard of little used computer, forming a sort of wall. 

In glad bag, in with the cheeses. But should be easy to spot. 

Strewn across the chessboard. Game in progress. This is during the Lock-Down. So, I even included a deuce of tens. 

In a new candy dish, filled with individually wrapped chocolate covered cherries. "One Month. Two Month. Plus a little more."

Under a new cake plate, arranged sort of artistically with crumpled pieces of colored origami paper. 

Under the Plushie Dinosaur, sitting on the air conditioner.

Spread out on The Closet Floor. 

"I made cornbread," placing the bills in a covered cast iron pan on the table, ready for supper. 

Handed to without ceremony for convenience sake, as making a bank run.

Fanned out under coffee cup when out of room.

Under the cream in the refrigerator. It lay undiscovered throughout the night. Quite the record. A half hour is typically a very long time. 

Sticking out from books in the bedroom. 

The Chessboard is in a new place. So, I got myself a new place.

On top of the air conditioner. It's that time of year. 

Well hidden, in plain sight, on top of a box. 

In Color Wooden Marble Suduko Box. "Happy Money Day!"

In closed laptop, between keyboard and screen. 

"I'll just hand it to you. That's a different way."

In empty clothes hamper. 

In Coffee Mug in Cupboard.

Along with a Coffee Delivery from Mescal
