Frustrated with landlord only taking cash (az)

I rent from a private landlord who only accepts cash. She’s elderly and I assume she isn’t up to date with electronic payments. But she won’t take check either. My problem with this is honestly the inconvenience. I have to walk the cash over to her house and then feel obligated to chat with her for 30-45 minutes. I’m grateful for cheaper rent and she’s a kind person but I seriously don’t have time. I work 60+ hour weeks and am often home after dark and gone by 6-7am in the morning. On my off days I’m just so busy with chores and resting. On top of that there is a lot of maintenance to be done on the place that hasn’t been fixed. Today is the 3rd and I know I need to go pay it but I’m so exhausted and just don’t want to keep dealing with this. I’m actually looking into moving out in the next month or two to somewhere that I can at least drop off a check quickly and go on my way. I know I sound dramatic but am I wrong for feeling this way.
