I found my first large bug inside the apartment today. Gross!! I thought it was pretty much dead while I was taking these pictures, because I was moving the cup I had put over it, and it wasn't moving. So I got real close, stuck a quarter next to it and everything so you could get a feeling of how big it is. When I put the cup back on top of it, it tried to jump. I mean, not just a little skip, but a real jump! Scared the crap out of me, and I still have the heebie-jeebies. Now I shake out my towel before using it, shake every bag or shoe I pick up off the floor. I've only found one bug, so I probably have nothing to worry about. But I wouldn't want to find another one of those things crawling on me!!

The other picture is just of me, dinking around with the camera. I'm kind of happy, aside from the bug, because I made a bit of progress today- I called all of our credit cards, bills, etc and changed our address, and my new last name on some of them. Now I need to go to the DMV and get a Louisiana liscense, and I need to go to Mike's shop- he forgot his deoderant here, and can't get the kind he needs from anyone on the boat, so I have to bring it to the shop so they can send it on the next supply boat out to the barge he's on.
