Old house + bad eyesight = Angela don't read this post

don't say I didn't warn you.

So I get nasty bugs in my house all the time. It's disgusting & I hate it, but it's an old house & it's not hard for them to find a way in. (I can see outside from under my front door. my landlord tried to fix the door gap once, but it didn't work, so he's never bothered to try to fix it for real) I kill them when I see them (except those box elder bugs - sometimes I'll open the door & just toss them out.

The grossest are the centipedes - they creep me out. big time. I hadn't seen one in a while until this past weekend when I killed one in the living room. and then there was today...

This morning, while I was putting my contacts in I noticed there was a HUGE centipede in my shower. My first thought was "where did that come from?" because surely I would have seen it scurry across the bathroom floor & up the tub. and then, I realized, it was dead & I had showered with it. I wanted to scream, puke & curl up in the fetal position all at once. My need for contacts/glasses caused me to think the centipede was just some hair that had fallen out of my head while washing it or something...cuz it never once crossed my mind that the brown hairy thing in the tub was anything but hair. So that's my horror story of the morning. I may be scarred for life. I even contemplated getting married just so someone else would kill the bugs ;-)

I promise it was a million times worse than it sounds.
