ladyspriteSo 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.....

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.
