Any one who has ever lived with me or dated me knows that I'm not so great at cleaning up after myself. Well now that I live in my own apartment with my own little kitchen, not only do I have to clean up after myself, but in the tropics, when it comes to cleaning up after oneself, the stakes are very high. Here in Hawaii, everything is alive.
Just a couple of days ago I saw the corpse of a bug sitting on my floor and ignored it, thinking I would get to it later. Within an hour or so, it was surrounded by a small swarm of ants. And so Michael, my landlord (and Layla's father) has carefully warned me that if I leave dishes or crumbs out for just a few hours, I'm bound to have a cockroach infestation. I've been careful. And so far I'm proud to say that after one week of living here, there is no cockroach infestation. Keep your fingers crossed.
