Sooo this wasn't going to be written right now... but thanks to a certain unwelcomed visitor in my bed I am awake early and I am terrified. When I went to bed last night there was a big something or other flying around my room. It landed on me a couple times but I couldn't get a good enough look at all. I think I did end up killing it though as there is creepily a large fly looking thing being moved across my bedroom floor by a couple of ants right now. Falling asleep was no problem. I didn't have to be up until 7:30 today. At 6:30 I awoke to feeling something on my leg. I moved a bit, and felt it on my other leg. It definitely wasn't just my sheets playing trick on my tactile perception. I leaped out of bed, trying to not scream and wake everyone else in the house up. I knew I had a flip-flop on the floor by my bed that I was reaching to grab as I was trying to find the damn thing. I saw it scurry under the sheet by my pillow and then move around some more. It was so dark that I really couldn't see much other than movement and in a dumbass move decided to turn the light on so I could see. Of course the light switch is far away from my bed...and of course the damn thing was faster than me so it ran down the wall before I could see it for sure. I do know this--cockroaches don't like light. I also know that they can be quite large and are fairly common in Oaxaca. And though I know that it is possible to find them anywhere, I feel like the other room felt less bug friendly and there therefore may be a change of rooms happening today. I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep in this bed again. Not even for a nap during the day. I'm horrified.
