me or them

August 6th, 2008

Dear roommates,
If you find me dead in the morning, it is probably because I have asphyxiated myself with Febreeze in the process of killing the TWO cockroaches that were in my shower just now. I closed the bathroom door, but the smell is still quite strong, and I can’t open the windows as they are painted shut. The burning has moved now from only my nostrils to my eyes as well, and to think…those critters survived Monday’s extermination AND enough Febreeze to maybe kill me. They were still squirming when I beat them with a shoe and I’m not certain, but one may have still been alive as he swirled down the toilet. Determined little punks.
But never fear. I WILL prevail o’er them! And the house SHALL smell of wild flowers and spring! If I make it through the night that is.
Love,
Buddy

    Fear not friends, Beth was alive when I left at around 8:00 this morning. She gave a feeble wave from her bed as a passed by her door, though I knew not of the battles she’d faced the night before.

    Chin up brave warrior roommate. I am hopeful that someday soon we shall live free of roaches and vermin of all kinds!

    Febreze? To kill cockroaches? Was it the only thing you had?

    I am all for killing creepy crawly things with sprayable liquids… That way you don’t have to get anywhere near the nasty but… I killed a black widow spider recently with an aerosol can of carpet cleaner…

    Amazing the death and destruction that can be had from a good old household product!
