Bug Log

I haven't added to my bug log recently, but that isn't to say I haven't seen a few bugs. It's just that the bugs that have crossed my path lately have seemed so ordinary. There's been the occasional medium sized cockroach, a few tiny ants, a relatively small spider in the shower.

Then yesterday, just when my defenses were down and I was all unsuspecting and clueless and oblivious to danger -- out walks the most humongous ginormous cockroach on the face of the earth. ON MY BATHROOM COUNTER.

Needless to say I didn't go back into that bathroom for at least 24 hours.

Then this afternoon I realized I can't avoid the bathroom forever. I do have a second bathroom, but the bathroom WITH THE COCKROACH is the one I use all the time.

So this morning I gathered my wits (what few I have left) and marched into the bathroom. I moved everything from the counter and under the sink to the secondary bathroom, and then I asked Moises, our helpful and fearless groundskeeper, to spray insecticide around the floor and counters and under the sink.

I didn't see the cockroach this morning when I was doing all this moving -- and believe me I was looking -- so it's probably already moved into my second bathroom along with my other stuff.

In other words, poor Moises will be spraying a cockroach-free bathroom, while the cockroach, in all probability, has moved into my second bathroom. And I will be treading lightly, and turning on every available bright light, the next time I walk into ANY bathroom.
