Life at the Roach Motel
Well, my vacation is just a buzzing by so I'm making a list and checking it twice. The list of which I speak is of people I have yet to see before I return to Copenhagen. I'll tell you now that this list is quite extensive and there's simply no excuse.
Usually I'm only over here for a couple of weeks, not a couple of months but I thought I'd take advantage of my job layoff. The good news is that I will be returning to the job of which I speak in a limited capacity and they'd like me to start remotely over here which I don't mind.
My parents out in Waupoos don't have an Internet connection and there are no towers in close proximately to use a mobile phone so I'll be doing all this work from my brother's house in nearby Belleville. My brother lives right next to a busy road in the heart of the city. His tenant has cats and they came over for a visit last night. They are sweet but get a little hyper for my taste.
I can also smell something foul in my brother's closet and didn't want the same gift left in my area. I even closed the door in my quarters but they managed to break in. They were crawling around in my bags filled with newly purchased clothes. That's when I managed to yell, "Get out bandits!" I felt kind of bad the next day when I was told that the one cat had ran away from home for 3 hours. I think they found him in a tree and not as road kill so it's all alright.
So, I woke up this morning in the usual fog and checked my e-mail. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a shadow and a furry tail. I thought it was these cats again and was shocked to see it was a squirrel. Did I scream or what. Later, I saw it outside on the top of a shed so it found its way outside, thank goodness. Then I went to change my clothes and found a creepy crawly bug in my new pants. More screams ensued. I won't be surprised if I see a bear or even a python next.
So now to tie this little story of shopping and squirrels in with the topic of this blog, yes?
