Creepy Crawlers; Freaky Tuesdays

What a way to start the day.

I woke up relatively early to go to work.

I was in the shower, rinsing shampoo off my hair when I felt a numbing sensation on my left foot. It's the kind of sensation you feel when your leg has been inactive for so long. You feel as if ants were crawling on your leg. Yup, this had the same sensation.

So I shrugged it off, until I felt the sensation move. What could that possibly be? I couldn't see it as my entire face was covered by shampoo suds.

Feeling the tingling sensation move across the circumference of my lower leg forced me to give off a jerking action (not that jerking action, perv!).

After immediately wiping off the shampoo from my face with a dry towel, I was amazed, aghast, taken aback, I'm running out of words here.... to see, to my horror of horrors.... a cockroach! (Cue in Psycho theme.)

I'm not scared of cockroaches, that I can assure you. I can even hold them with my bare hands (yeah, I can hear you cringe in disgust right now), that is, granted they are not moving anymore. I just don't like the feel of their legs on my skin. It's just so... icky!

I don't know what it was that gave the cockroach enough courage to share a shower with me. I must have some kind of oozing sex appeal that only four-legged creatures appreciate. Or she (I am assuming that the cockroach is female because she was with me in the shower) must be a reincarnation of someone I used to share a shower with in my past life (if I had one).

Good thing my instincts didn't tell me to step on her at first sight. I would have done so in my wide-awake state of mind. Otherwise, I would be scrubbing my feet a thousand times more today. And I would have a bathroom floor with Mentos (crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside) remnants to clean for the next few minutes or so.

Now isn't that some peculiar way to start the day?
