I recently had my first cockroach experience… and my second and third\u00a0– all in the same day. Is that good luck by chance? I doubt it.<\/p>\n
The first encounter was in the garbage shoot. Ok, I can deal with that. Gross things can live where you put other gross things. Taking out the trash is now solely Mike’s responsibility.<\/p>\n
The next was just a drive-by sidewalk cockroach. Ok, no harm there but still disgusting. I think he was wearing heels because I could hear him walk by. Well, maybe it was a \u201cshe\u201d but you never know in NYC.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0\u00a0third\u00a0cockroach meeting was a little less easy to brush-off. We were out street trash shopping (STS) and we spotted a nice dresser. During the inspection\u00a0 of our found treasure, we opened the top drawer and a cockroach catapulted itself at me.\u00a0 Cockroaches can\u00a0 apparently fly. Noted. I\u2019m not the type of girl that screams but nothing else could come out of my mouth. I survived\u00a0and we left the cockroach and the dresser on the street.<\/p>\n
I’ve met a new enemy I must take on in NYC\u00a0. His name is\u00a0“cucaracha,” he’s\u00a0repulsive \u00a0and he could be anywhere.<\/p>\n
