Kick the Can was the name of a Children's game that became popular in the 19 thirties.

Kicked the can down the road.

Have you found a new apartment yet?

No.

I've just been paying rent on my same old place one month at a time.

You're just kicking the can down the road on Jonathan.

I know.

But right now, looking for a new apartment is more stressful than she is.

To kick the can down the road means to avoid dealing with a difficult situation or making ah hard decision until later.

For example, Ana does not want to begin looking for a new apartment, so she just kicks the can down the road every month.

And that's English in a minute.
