WAAAAHHHH.
There is a fat, black spider running loose in my room.
I was just getting ready to go to bed when I saw it lurking by my computer monitor, planning its attack. I screamed for back-up and Aileen came with a rainbow apple polka dotted shoe but the spider was clever. It was hiding on my black webcam so it was camouflaged and not shoe-smackable. We maneuvered my cat, the designated bug wrangler of the house, onto the computer desk in hopes she would see and eat the evil spider. This tactic failed as my cat was sleepy and did not see the enemy spider. Attempts to move the camera so the cat could have a better look proved nigh fatal and in the ensuing chaos the spider was lost.
Now I am trying to convince myself to go lie down in my bed and go to sleep, but it is difficult. I can't go near my computer and am posting this from the family dinosaur, which runs like molasses. I have a serious case of the creepy crawlies and every little tingle or tickle makes my heart jump. I am torn between sleeping on the couch, or having my cat sleep with me, the thought being that if the spider tries to eat my face while I am sleeping that kitty will save me.
