Last I looked, the Wet-Jet was still $19.95, but not thinking I had a need, I haven’t checked them lately. I can’t imagine they would cost more than $29.95.
Not an insurmountable cost, but the computer payments are eating my food. I don’t think I could get a mop and bucket for the same price, plus, this has anti-bacterial cleaners...
Kitteh will have to wait. I gotta have the stuff available for the aide, or I will be without an aide.
Swiffer Wet-Jet Starter Kit, $18.59. Let me see what I have when the bank emails me on Tuesday. I get surprises sometimes, because DP has set up automatic payments of some things.
The good news is the electric bill is down, now that we’re not using the ac or the heat. On the other hand, I need to call the HVAC maintenance company and have the furnace looked over and pay the annual “priority service” fee, so that if something goes wrong they’ll prioritize us.

Everybody ought to have an aid,
Everybody ought to have a working churl,
Everybody ought to have a lurking churl
To putter around the house.
Everybody ought to have an aid,
Everybody ought to have a menial
Consistantly congenial
And quieter than a mouse.
Oh, oh, wouldn’t he be delicious,
Tidying up the dishes,
Neat as a pin.
Oh, oh, wouldn’t he be delightful,
Sweeping out,
Sleeping in.
Everybody ought to have an aid,
Someone who you hire when you’re short of help
To offer you the sort of help
You never get from a spouse:
Fluttering up the stairway,
Shuttering up the windows,
Cluttering up the bedroom,
Buttering up the owner,
Puttering all around the house!
Oh, oh, wouldn’t he be delicious,
Tidying up the dishes,
Neat as a pin.
Oh, oh, wouldn’t he be delightful,
Sweeping out,
Sleeping in.
Everybody ought to have an aid,
Someone who in fetching you your slipper will
Be winsome as a whipporwill
And graceful as a grouse:
Skittering down the hallway,
Flittering through the parlor,
Tittering in the pantry,
Littering up the bedroom—
...

Yeah, I know. It’s supposed to be “a maid”.
But “an aid” works too, you know. Equal-opportunity offenses committed daily at no extra charge.
