The neighborhood is buzzing with the bass from *Lady Marmalade* rattling every passing trunk, but I’m too busy staring at the grocery receipt. It’s sketchy how fast things are climbing, and seeing **$1.03** for a single loaf of bread makes my stomach do backflips.
I can hear the kids down the block arguing about their new Bratz dolls over the low hum of the mosquito zappers. Between the rising costs and these headlines about invasive home inspections, I feel like I'm the weakest link just trying to keep my head above water.
