Welcome to the City!

And so city living begins... I met not one, but TWO cockroaches in my apartment yesterday. The first was under my sponge near the kitchen sink; the second was waltzing through the living room last night. As you can imagine, I am NOT happy. This kind of thing grosses me out beyond understanding -- cockroaches might be like spiders or flies or gnats elsewhere, but they are associated with dirty and unclean and nastiness to me. This is not my home in any way. It may just be one of the occasional things that happen here in my place and these critters could be worse anywhere in the building and I'll get one or two.

Welcome to New York!

Still, I'm a little wigged out -- the good news is that they do eat bed bugs. The bad news? That's NO consolation to me.
