The Apartment

I'm renting a townhouse from a co-worker. She just bought a new house and couldn't sell the townhouse so she made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

It's a nice place with a view of Diamond Head in the distance. Unfortunately it suffers from the same problems as any apartment with neighbors of questionable cleanliness.

Last night I killed 2 roaches crawling up my walls. Eeeeuuuggghhh! This morning I woke up to find spiderwebs strung across my kitchen! I just wiped down all the counters last night and this morning it's full of WEBS! The outdoor roaches occasionally come in to visit as well.

Now these outdoor roaches are no ordinary cockroaches. The measure a couple of inches long and make some serious noise rattling their wings. And they fly. Into your face, usually. When you confront one, it turns its long antennae toward you as if to say "watch it, lady, or I'll walk on you". I'm beginning to like the smell of Raid. It's a comforting smell that says "No bugs left alive!"
