And Mood Back Down Again

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.....

Ultimatum has been made.

Doubly so because of the situation - when I realized how much they owed me, I told them I would cancel all future dates unless they started steady payments. They wrote me a check, I scheduled more dates.

That would be the check that just bounced. Ultimatum has been given again today; if I cannot redeposit that check tomorrow and have it clear, there will be no future dates.
