Date: 2008-10-16 01:51 pm (UTC)Creepers! Time to sell the house. That would so freak me out. I have nightmares enough about the silverfish in my attic. I can't imagine waking up with a cockroach on my face.
feed cat (he loves to help)
When I was little I always loved helping my grandmother feed her dog.
Casper does not like cooked apples
You know, I understand the individual words, but... I mean, apple pie!

Date: 2008-10-16 02:33 pm (UTC)You'll notice we don't live there any more, and yes, the thing where the roaches periodically fell on us while we slept did not help. Even though the locals told us we would feel better about it if we called them palmetto bugs.
(I take it the upshot of the time management exercise was, "I could manage my time better if our planet were on a 30-hour cycle." That's certainly my takeaway. *grin* We are not going to talk about how much your days look like C's.)
