Denial, it's not just a river in Egypt.

It's starting to happen. The thing I was warned about, that until now, I was in complete denial about. Cockroaches. Big ones.

I've been told it's better to see the big ones over the small ones. They come in from outside, and are not a sign of "infestation" (I hate that word!). Being a warmer climate here, they are everywhere, and it's just a fact of life.

Sunday night, there were 3 sightings, and one murder. It's the theory that two of them (the one that died) were actually the same one, but really, who knows. The first was seen running out from under the dryer. At least the laundry room is sort of separate from the rest of the apartment. We think it came in around the dryer vent which hasn't been sealed yet. The other 2(1) were seen in my roommate's bathroom and then closet at 2 in the morning. Thank goodness for the can of Raid on hand. She said she didn't sleep much after that.

As I didn't see any of them, can I be stay in denial? Please?

(no pictures because we still don't have internet at home. And really, I'm sure you don't want a picture of this).

Denial is over. Saw 2 last night in the laundry room. They were successfully killed.
