Scorpion!!!

My heart was startled during supper for the second time in less than a week...first it was a stray cat who wandered in the back door, through my bedroom and into the kitchen. Tonight when the screams rang out at first I thought cat...then no maybe a rat, .....holy crap a scorpion!!!! Kill it!! kill it!! The ´poor´thing didn´t know what hit him. They are a lot softer shelled than cochroches...I know this becuse of smashing one on the floor of the hostel in Vallarta at 3am with my sandal!!

I was just getting to a nice relaxed state during my sleep, the geko(s) in my room...no problem but now you can bet I´ll be shaking out my blankets before i crawl into bed and I am sure I´ll be feeling the creepy-crawlies under the covers for a little while!
