I knew what you were getting at, and I really am trying to accept things as much as I can. Seriously, Cheryl's "vermin" post? I am really trying. They're an important part of the decomposition cycle. Circle of nature. They won't bite me, and they're only hurting me because I am letting them. I don't scream every single time anymore. (But I am not above standing on a chair and shaking for half an hour, and I really really really don't want to sweep under furniture, and I am cringing every time I have to reach under my desk to plug something in.)

It is trying to kill me. I'm trying to be more harmonious with the heat and not get too PTSD from the roaches, but it only goes so far. Hopefully my landlord is true to his word about sealing my windows on the tree-side of my apartment. Summer aside, I dig. :) I wish I could be more peaceful with the seasons, but I have resigned myself to hating summer. It is trying to kill me.
