As i was standing in the bathroom going through my "getting ready for bed" ritual i was looking for some bobbypins that i had places on shelves that were above the toilet. Then out of the corner of my eye i see something black coming up the toilet. You might automatically think oh thats gross the sewage backed up... but before you starting making your predictions i will give you one more clue... it was alive! Yes this black thing was now splashing around in my toilet trying to get out! Any guesses?
If you said a rat you are correct! Yes you read that right... in the pipe that you flush water and whatever else down the toilet a rat had managed to find its way through and come up my toilet!
As you can imagine i screamed bloody murder and Prossy (the woman who runs the guest house) and a guy that works for her come running. They are shocked to find what i was screaming about. And while the guy knocks the rat uncontious with his sandal, Prossy continues to tell me about the rat problem that Uganda has! She claims that they normally stay outside of the guest houses, and that this has never happened before. When the rat is finally uncontious they decided it would be best to just flush it back down the toilet! ICK... this whole situation grosses me out so bad and i am visible shaking at this point, swearing up and down that i will never use that toilet again!
As i was lying in bed last night trying to fall asleep i was praying thanking the Lord that 1. i was not sitting on that toilet when the rat came up and 2. that this is my last night at the guest house in jinja! Oh how i am so excited for London, Paris, and Rome!
btw... details have been finalized...
i will be in Entebee on the 10th
Flying into London the 11th and staying there until the 14th
Paris the 14th-16th
and Rome the 16th-18th
Finally spending the night in London again on the 18th and back to the states on the 19th!
Shout out to my mom for arranging all of that for me instead of working :)
Even with all those exciting details i still cant stop thinking about that rat!!!!
