Life here can be fairly boring these days and so most unlike me but I've taken to having early nights...only way I can cope getting up ridiculously early for work!
Anyway, last night I was in bed by 9.30pm and at 1.40am was woken up by feeling something on my face and then my arm. I flicked it off and quickly turned on the light. There running across my bedsheet was a baby..cockroach!! I tried to grab it but missed and eventually with my sheet in my hand I grabbed it and crushed it within the sheet til it was a gonner! By then it was 1.45am and I am standing bleary eyes with a dead cockroach crushed into my top sheet! So I flicked it into my bin, stripped the sheets off my bed, put new ones on and went back to sleep with a plan to completely wash my house after school today with bleach and spray with Raid. Just as I was drifting off to sleep I hoped that the baby cockroach didn't have a mother who would come looking for it....
(it didn't!)
My friends were not overly disturbed by my story, just told me it's part of life and normal! I'm not so keen on having my personal space invaded like that!! Weird thing is, unike every house here in Honduras, I don't actually have cockroaches in my kitchen or my house. I do in my bodega, but not in my house. This one must have just wandered in. My house is now clean. I hope nothing else visits me tonight...I need sleep....
