英語日記 #8 The fear of an unfound creepy-crawly
What kinds of fears have been weighing on you lately?
I tell you about fears that I happend lately.
My girlfriend found an creepy-crawly in the toilet, and I went to check it out.
I have checked all the nooks and crannies around toilet but couldn't find the insect.
The fear of not being able to locate a creepy-crawly in my own home.
There’s nothing scarier than a creepy-crawly I can’t find in house.
I'm trying to keep my mind off it.
I really hope it was just a mistake on her part to overcome my fears.
I'm just trying to tell myself it was simply a misunderstanding on her end.
I went to bed worrying about it.
This morning, when I got back from my walk, I found it by the front door!
I was surprised, but also relieved.
