Ewwwwwwww Gross!

Last night I returned to my shoe-box to find an uninvited creature had taken up residency on my wall. I guess I'd never seen a cockroach before. They're huge! And I gotta say I wasn't much of a fan. Trying to psych myself up to squash it proved very difficult. I got more and more freaked out and less and less convinced I could touch it. Then it flew out from the wall straight at my head and it was game over for me. I tried to recruit reinforcements but as luck would have it nobody in my building was home. In the meantime it had scuttled away somewhere and all I could imagine was it dive-bombing me as soon as I entered my room. Thankfully A finally got home we teamed up against the sucker and after a fairly destructive 15 minutes in which my apartment was thoroughly trashed A got him with one of my hikers.

Yuck!

Holy destruction Batman! You can see the remnants of the king kong bug between my shoes and the blue bucket.
