I had been extremely tired from a busy weekend, and when my cell phone alarm went off that Monday morning it was a bit harder to wake up. I usually let my alarm go off for an average of 30 minutes,.. until I get up. I think I hit snooze for about an hour this morning. A bit above average. I reluctantly got out of bed, quickly showered and got ready for work. Luckily my commute is fairly reasonable, it usually only takes me 15-20 minutes to get to work.
Ahhh.. work. Needless to say, it was one of those days, where everyone needed everything yesterday. So as I sat in my chair very stressed out, I was counting the minutes until I could go home and have a moments respite, and... continue working. Yes, I had to do a bit of work at home but, it is usually more relaxing when I can focus without the constant phone ringing and inbox cluttering.
Finally the quitting bell rang, and I ventured home. I usually don't partake in the consumption of wine after work- I always felt it was kinda weird to drink by myself. But today was definitely an exception to the rule. As I was having trouble removing the outer-wrapping, and that's when I saw Him. The unwelcome visitor...
I reached into our utensil drawer to retrieve a knife, and something caught my eye. At first glance I thought it was a leaf. I thought to myself, "why is there a leaf in our drawer?" So I went to brush it out and that's when the leaf was not a leaf, but a cockroach.
At the realization that I almost touched a cockroach, I immediately flipped out in my typical fashion. For those of you who know me, I'm very jumpy. So naturally I ran out the kitchen screaming bloody murder, and perched myself a top our banister, so that my body would not be in contact with the floor.
It was at this point my roommates seemed to noticed something was wrong,.. (I think the screaming gave it away.) Autumn and Stephanie both thought I was being a bit ridiculous, however, I disagree, for Hank was a very large creature. Being the brave one, Stephanie decided to try and kill Hank but she could not find him.
I was still super creeped that there was any type of bug in our house. I'm a non-bug person. I don't kill them- people kill them for me. I think that my already stressed body heightened my already unnatural fear of bugs, and I still have not had any wine.
Not wanting to leave my "safe zone"- Stephanie was nice enough to bring my wine to me. So in all my classiness, I went ahead and drank my wine straight up from the bottle, while sitting atop our banister - still feeling very shaky. (Caution: Mimi does not recommend 1- sitting on a banister, or 2- drinking alcohol while doing number 1. and 3- Hank, he will haunt your dreams) Always ask a parent or guardian before trying this at home).
While were still could not find Hank the Cockroach or any of his friends. The night was slightly rectified by getting Pizza Nova. and although they would not deliver to our apartment, Autumn and I successfully picked up our food without me locking my keys in my cars. (Yes- it happened last Dec). Thus concluding my Monday. We still have yet to find Hank- I will keep you posted.
