Revenge is Bitter :(

I was just about to sleep last night when I happened to glance at my bed and saw… a cockroach scurrying right across the top of my mattress!! It wasn’t huge huge, but it was bigger than what I was willing to grab with my hands (plastic bags don’t really quite cut it as adequate protection, although I did line one with tissue paper just in case). So I armed myself with a rolled-up bunch of newspapers for short-range clubbing, the Magic Wiper for long-range parrying, and started chasing it around the room. Well this soon proved to be a stalemate, since I clearly wasn’t going to catch it, and it clearly wasn’t going to vaporise into nothing, so I was slowly accepting the fact that I might not be able to sleep at all. I mean, how could I even close my eyes knowing that there was a cockroach right in the same room?! Thankfully, after about half an hour, I managed to chase it out of my room. I slammed the door shut, prayed it wouldn’t be able to sneak back in under the door, and managed to get some, albeit restless, shuteye. Time to get some insecticide spray for a slightly longer-term solution… and time to wash my bed linen…
