They include:
The centipede.
The stinkbug.
The silverfish.
The fruit-fly.
The ladybug.
I opened my living room window on my first day here. Oops. I was picking stinkbugs out for the next couple days. One died in my bathroom. Ew.
Then the fruit-flies came in with a batch of produce from the Italian market. I no longer keep trash in my apartment.
The centipedes and silverfish have been a constant. At least they’re small, not like the centipedes of Boston that can get so big, I hear the “pad-pad-pad-pad-pad” of their hundreds of feet on the hardwood floors.
The ladybugs come in waves…I’m exhibiting a lot of restraint by not making a crack about “Lady B cyclins”…lllll. One dropped on my shoulder on Sunday, a cute little guy he was. As I escorted him from the building, I told him, “Don’t get me wrong, I like you better than all the others, we just can’t be living together right now.”
So, apparently I’m talking to bugs now. Fantastic.

I literally laughed out loud at the line: “Don’t get me wrong, I like you better than all the others, we just can’t be living together right now.” Hilarious.
I love hearing from you!
