Invasion
Goddammit... I should have known the boys' behaviors were kinda weird. They known not to go on the desk and so they stay off it, but yesterday and today I come home from work noticing my speakers falling over and my printer short a few inches from plunging to the floor. Then a while ago, while working on the computer, Louis kept trying to jump up on the desk and he seemed fixated on something on the wall. I look up and, sure enough, close to the ceiling... there's a scorpion.
Great.
This is the second scorpion I've found since I moved here last October. Since the last one I saw was in the spring, I am assuming that heat drives them indoors? To be honest, this would not be an issue for I say spiders are much, much worse except for one teensy little fact about my spiritual brethren: it can kill me.
This is Arizona, and the scorpions here are poisonous. Sometimes fatally. So, yeah, out it goes. I'm just not sure how to get rid of it. It seems content with just hanging out on the wall for now. I dunno, maybe it's dying? The first one moved around quite a bit. Then again, Louis and Cheshire were batting it around. Also, I can't reach it. So I'll have to knock it down somehow and I... really don't want to do that. D: I just don't want to agitate it at all. I think I'll wait until it decides to move before I do anything. It's not bothering me and I'm not bothering it, so we seem to be having a mutual understanding right now.
