And Mood Back Down Again

[ladysprite]

So it seems there's a 90+% chance that we're going to need a new water heater.

And that's going to cost somewhere north of $800.

And it means no hot water until tomorrow night at the earliest, in the best possible situation.

We really, really, really don't need this right now. I just had another paycheck bounce, this will empty out every penny we put into vacation savings and then some, and this is all hitting about 3 weeks before taxes are due, and that's always at least another 5-figure check I need to write.

And it means at least three days in a row with no hot shower. And I tried to do the ice-water shower thing this morning and nearly stopped breathing. Clients are going to just *love* me by the end of the day tomorrow.

Just once, I'd like to get some news and have it be good.....

Ouch - but at least the chances sound like you will get paid when they sort it out.

BTW, I have a book for you, but queenortart didn't get it packed before Intercon. We'll be over in the US again in a few weeks. Private-message me a physical address, and we will post it once we are over - something to look forward to!

Oh, thank you - that's really sweet! I'll drop you a line...

I'd tell you you don't have to do this, but I'm pretty sure you already know that. Thank you. :)
