Very Too Much

Y'all, I have lost my Essix "thing."  The house, the garbage cans, drawers, closets, have all been gone over again and again.  Nothing.  Which means I had to go out into the world today gap-toothed and lisping.    It's maddening and I don't know what to do.  If the next step were in just a couple of weeks, I'd wave it off.  But four or five months like this?  Uh-uh.
