Courtesy of it being hotter than hellfire here yesterday, no one came out to shut off my water. Small mercies, I guess. I don't want to push it though. If I don't pay anything by the end of the day, I have no water until Monday at the earliest. I'd rather not end my work week and/or go to the doc Monday sans shower.
As much as I don't want to, I think I'm going to ask family for help. I'll take the hit to my pride.
Speaking of pride, part of the tooth my dentist managed to chip (more broke a quarter of it off) last visit gave way. So, 3/4 of a tooth is now 1/2 a tooth. Fantastic.
I'm going to have to find a better dentist to make a game plan with. My dental problems need more than brushing and flossing to solve. Some are definitely my fault, but others (see above) are definitely not.
