Entry FeedOK. So I don't like bugs. Who does?
My least favourite are these really ugly, hairy, amazingly fast brown centipedes. Have you seen them? Chances are if you live in Toronto, in an "older" home, you've had these bugs.
Most of the time I see a bug and I kill it. But there is something extra creepy and scary about these bugs - I have to squeal for Husband to come and kill it. I am not a squealer. And I am not a wuss afraid of a little bug. But these ugly, impossible fast bugs just bring out the squealer in me. Maybe it is because I often see them in the bathroom, so I am already in a vulnerable position. Today I saw it run away from me when I picked up the towel after my shower. I don't wear shoes in the shower, so there was nothing to kill it with. Instead I squealed for Husband.
He came running. I got a lecture on how I should reserve that certain, high pitched yell for emergency purposes only. It was an emergency! Plus, I only yell like that when I see one of these particular bugs. He should know that by now.
Husband calls these bugs "sewer bugs" but they are actually called,
Scutigera coleoptrata Centipedes. Here is a link if you don't know the terror of finding something like this in your home.

I think the exterminator is coming on Thursday...
