Like a Little Girl

Things don't usually make me scream.  I can usually take it.  Snakes, bugs, whatever.  But today I screamed...twice.  And I'm convinced that it's because "they" had the element of surprise.

The thing is, Dave's been replacing all the exterior walls of our backyard shed.  The old wood had rotted and critters were taking over.

So my job was to go through a box of books that had been sitting in the shed for many years.  They were obviously destroyed, but there was no evidence of who the destroyers had been until...

TWO COCKROACHES RAN OVER THE TOP OF MY HAND!!!
(That would be scream number one.)

My next job was clearing off a shelf that had a bunch of Dave's old glider stuff on it.  I picked up a tube of wrapped something, managed to tip it a bit...

AND A TON OF BIG ANTS AND LARVAE FELL OUT OF THE TUBE...AND LANDED ON MY SANDALED FOOT!!!
(That would be scream number two.)

...and now I'm not sure if I'll be able to sleep tonight.
