This morning, inexplicably and without warning, I find the basement filled with flies. Fat nasty bluebottles as big as your fingernail, sprung up overnight from who-knows-where. Yesterday, no flies in the basement; today, dozens of creepy crawlies parked listless on the walls, swarming in the window casement, climbing over the ironing board with their dirty feet, buzzing around the light fixtures.
I want to cry. Also, to throw up.
