Today's Ottertainment

Five minutes after I woke up and sat down to go through mail/blogs, Otter comes stomping across my desk, knocking over my drugs in the process, and then decides he needs a tissue.

Um. Ooookay.

Hoo-freaking-ray

Turns out that the shower in our master bath is leaking. Into the floor below it. There's a wet spot in the ceiling on the first floor.

SO MUCH YAY.

So now I get to talk to a bunch of contractors and try to figure out how the hell we're going to fix this. Because I have a sneaking suspicion this isn't going to be easy or cheap. They're probably going to have to rip out the whole shower, shore up whatever damaged flooring there is and rebuild the shower, probably with new stuff. And in the meantime, we get to use the shower in the guest bath, which is itself in need of some repair because the linoleum is coming up at the edge of the tub, thus allowing any splashed water to leak into the floor there.

The only reasonably good thing about this is that we have a whole credit card with nothing on it right now (though the other one will be close to maxed out once I've paid our tax bill.) So we can afford this, probably. We'll just be paying it off until FSM knows when. And with me not having a job right now, that's not going to be easy.

Really, universe. I needed this SO much right now. Thanks, ever so.
