Invader Update

I had just arrived at the house, and, having not taken my keys with me when I left, I went around to my window. I jimmied it open, and had just fallen through it head first when I realized that I was not alone in my room. I knew this first because I sensed something else in the room, then I heard the skittering noises, and then I finally caught sight of him. The cockroach had made the mistake of being surprised while in the middle of the room. 

Going back through old posts, I realized that I never gave closure to what happened to the cockroach that had taken up residence in my room. Though I hadn't seen him since my first post about him, I had heard him on a number of occasions, and was getting used to the fact that I'd never be able to catch him. I was getting used to him, until the day I fell through my window and caught sight of him again. Then, I took full advantage of the opportunity by grabbing the nearest shoe and sending some semi-well aimed swats in the general direction in which I had first spotted him. Needless to say, I once again have my room to myself.
