Day 29: Creepy Crawlies

Now there are very few things that I hate in this world. But bugs and other nasty little creatures are on my hate list. Anyone that’s been around me when a roach, centipede, or mouse is in the vicinity, has seen me freak out and scream the highest pitched scream you’ve ever heard in your life. So y’all know I am going through it in Africa!! lol

Here is a list of the nasty little bastards that have decided to leave nature and come into my bedroom, hotel room or TASO office since I’ve been here in Uganda:
- Cockroach/Water bugs
- Moths
- Grasshopper (screamed my head off)
- Mosquitoes (of course)
- Daddy Long Leg spiders
- Other spiders
- Chameleons
- Lizards

A Lizard outside/in nature where its supposed to be…

To me the Chameleons are the nastiest of them all. They are so ugly looking and they wiggle along the wall when they move (side to side…like a snake with legs) and stare at you with their beedy eyes. I just hate them! Last night I was screaming so loud when I saw one in the bathroom when I was showering. My roommate just laughed and said I sounded like someone was attacking me. Ugh!

Here’s one that was in our hotel room like the first night we were in Mbale. (it looks just like the one in our bathroom last night) Ewww…go back outside with the rest of nature!! >:-{

I know there are many more of these encounters to come so I gotta get it together and stop complaining :-/
