New Apartment

Many thanks to the Family Torchness for their efforts to help me move in. Much appreciated. I could not have done this without you guys. Or at least I could have, and then wasted so much time moving that my studies would go by the wayside. And that's no good.

The old roommate finally got the last of his stuff Monday, and I am pretty much settled here in the new apartment.

But I am now locked in a life and death struggle with some tenants who have remained. Namely a cockroach the size of a small field mouse. Who I nearly stepped on in the kitchen. Good thing I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. Last time I walk in there without turning the light on. Or while in bare feet. Ugh.
So after he scampered under the stove, I went to Tomb Thumb, and pondered the eternal question that comes to mind in these situations:
"Hm... cockroach poison... rat poison... giant cockroach poison... rat poison... which would be more effective for the size of this sucker?"

I went with the Giant Cockroach poison. They are now strategically placed in the kitchen. If I see him again, or his cohorts, I'll call the landlord and get a sprayer. That sucker... uff.
I can just imagine the sick crunchy squishy sound that would have reverberated through the apartment had I stepped on him. Like sticking your foot in a jar of jelly and crunching Dorito chips at the bottom. Just imagine it. Cringing yet? Yeah, that's the situation I'm in.
Definitely glad I went with the poison. Hopefully he'll share it with his family. Eat up, buddy.
