The intruder....

We've seen a few hanging around our apartment and made a phone call to our landlord as a precationary measure, but we didn't think it was anything to worry about really. They come by infrequently, but dealing with them when it's light hasn't been an issue. They range in size, but are more annoying than bothersome so we haven't raised too much ruckus.

The other night I was lying in bed though and I thought I heard something on the floor. I disregarded it, but rolled onto my back so I could hear better just in case. Then I felt something touch my arm... gently. I jumped out of bed and turned on the light and there was one right there on my bed! Yes, a normal (not even giant) cockroach! I smushed it and went to bed. This is my first attempt at suspense writing... what do you think? New York Times bestseller? I agree.

Tomorrow we leave for the Great Ocean roadtrip! Very exciting indeed. I checked on everything to make sure it was in order yesterday. I was really excited about the super cheap car fare we got ($230 when most are in the $450 range). Who knew there was a Melbourne in Florida too? ... I redid the car fare for Melbourne, Australia and we got the normal $450 range. But what are you gonna do? So tomorrow we're off! Mother I will be calling/texting you to let you know we are fine.
