Thanks for all of the feedback/support yesterday! I wasn't sure how folks would respond to using my emergency fund to cover everything.
The transfer's came through, and my visa is now sitting at a $0 balance. I've got a bit of money left over for when the part we had to buy for the truck gets posted to the account. It's a mixed emotion I have about paying it off, I'm happy that it is once again a zero balance - but I'm disheartened that it got that bad again.
That said, I'm looking forward, to moving forward.
My next focus, aside from re-establishing my/our emergency fund will be to get my final student loan paid off. I think I might have debt fatigue...le sigh.
Update - Visa
