I feel like I'm being dodged.

Yes, I can spare the money. I don't need you to pay me back right now. In fact, I told you that in the email I sent. But it's the principal of the thing. Just acknowledge that you know how much you owe and give me a rough time frame for the first check. Then I'll forget about it for the next couple of months, at some point, well past when you told me you'd send it to me, I'll wake up and say, "hey, I'm still owed money" and I'll call you again. *sigh* Really, I don't want your first born or anything.
