I HATE COCKROACHES!!!! In fact, I hate them so much that if it had registered in my brain that Alabama had cockroaches, I would have thought twice about moving here, maybe even tree times. Over the past several months I have seen many outside, especially after dark. But that was ok. They were outside I was inside… most of the time any way. The point is, I could get away from them.
For the past couple months I have been meaning to give my room a major cleaning… which never happened. I’ve been working 12-16 hour days at least every other week since May and If I’m not then its a 6-8 hour day. So if I’m not working constantly I’m recover for the next week and don;t feel like cleaning. For the past couple weeks I’ve been trying to motivate my self by saying “clean or you’ll get cockroaches hiding under the stuff on your floor. Didn’t help much… until last week.
I walked into my room a little after 10pm, after working since 7am. I flipped on the light to see a cockroach scurrying away from my chair. Needless to say, it freaked me out. I went into a cleaning frenzy and got most of the stuff up off my floor. I thought the cockroach gone.
A few days later I was in the bathroom digging through my shower caddy and saw something moving in the bottom. this time I did scream and jump back. I ended up knocking my shower caddy over into the sink and very carefully retrieving everything in it. The evil cockroach went scurrying away somewhere.
Seeing all these cockroaches make me very happy that in a week or so I’ll be moving across the hall into hab 1. I’ll be shaking everything out before packing to make sure that there are no stowaways. this is also a great chance to organize. Yay!
The other awesome thing about moving is that I’ll get a window and I think I get a desk to. There will be pictures of my new room as soon as I’m moved in.
