Have you priced boxes recently? I could have dinner in the Pearl, for the price of a standard-sized box. I have been on a two-day hunt for free boxes. I’m sure I will have fruit flies, now, from the produce boxes. The other ridiculously expensive thing, and there was no way around this, has been the flea campaign I’ve waged. This new house has fleas. My dog now has a full-time occupation, and the sound of it is driving me wild. It’s left her with an exposed knob at the end of her butt, where her pretty tail used to be. I took her to one of those places where you wash your dog, while I waited for the toxic fumes to dry. Between the spray for the carpet, the bath, and the Advantage you drizzle on their backs I have spent well over $200. This includes Advantage for the cat and puppy. I can’t wait to pick “Melissa” up on Friday. That was the name of a friend I am no longer speaking to. I will go into that later.
