Critters

(24 April)

I was feeling pretty proud of myself and how I handled my 2 snake encounters. Now it seems the critters have come out to attack me. First, I heard a strange noise coming from my toilet last night. As soon as I removed the cover, a bat flew out at me. Then this afternoon as I sat on my bed working on the computer, something fell on me. I jumped up to see it scurry under my bed. It was a cockroach the size of my large toe. It took a nice dose of mosquito repellent to sedate it enough for me to step on it. Then as I sat this evening at my table, I hear some scurrying on my tin roof. I look up to see the nose of a rat sticking out. Critters 3 - Meagan 0. I’m officially not enjoying this and plan to buy every sort of poison and insecticide I find in town tomorrow. This is war and I will not lose (and by losing, I mean wetting the bed from nightmares of the critters getting me).
And don’t forget, any critter that is killed in this battle will be donated to science. If my neighbor will come and remove it for me like she so graciously did with the dead cockroach.
