Oh, by the way...

...moths are EXPENSIVE!

I forgot what day it was, but one day last week while I was off, I took my suit coat into the local reweaving place that had been recommended by my dry cleaner.

After buzzing Catherine and me in (it's not in the nicest part of town), the lady behind the counter took a look at the three tiny holes, and then carefully chalked a small box around each one. Next, she took a slim metal ruler and measured the precise dimensions of each chalk box, looked at a chart, then did some figuring on a calculator. "One hundred ten dollars."

::jaw hits floor::

Stupid moths! All sorts of junk they COULD eat, but they have to snack on my only other suit!

Well, there was really nothing I could do--they don't sell the coat separately, and I surely didn't want to pay for another suit. ::sigh::

She said it would be ready around April 3 or so. "Oh, and I need the pants to go with it--that's where we take the material from."

Grr. Had to go all the way back home, get my pants, then go all the way back there.

Stupid moths.
