arachnophobia is screening at my house. at my house.
a few weeks ago i killed a spider in my bathroom. i would have left it
alone if it had merely been a daddy long-legs. but no, it had to be
one with a big ole butt and icky thick legs. (by the way. i'm glad i
kept one of my crutches because it comes in very handy for killing
spiders when you don't like to get close.) so i ended up hitting it
with the crutch (thereby rendering it immobile) and then rinsing it
down the shower drain.
then 2 nights later when i came home and went to the bathroom, i saw a
teenie, tiny almost white spider making its way down right next to me.
at first i thought, hhhmm...how cute. a tiny little albino spider. and
then i saw another. hhhmmm...must be twins. and then i looked up and
saw that there were like 20 of them crawling on my wall close to the
ceiling all emanating from one corner! eeeek!
but i actually didn't freak out completely. i mean, they were so small
i figured i could take em. i just didn't want them exploring and
wandering into my bedroom where they could find fun hiding places to
grow up big and strong. so i just closed my bathroom door tightly for
the night, went out to the pharmacy first thing the next morning to
buy bug spray, and nuked them before they knew what hit em. and that
was the end of that. well, sort of. that's when the spider dreams
started. and just when *they* finally started subsiding...
i get home last night and find another one of those big spiders in
my kitchen! it was almost camouflaged by the pattern in the floor.
creeeepy! it had already built a bit of a web and everything. as soon as i
got out the bug spray, it ran underneath cupboards. i used the crutch to
destroy its web and then sprayed underneath there a bit. but no clue
if it was enough to reach and kill the dirty bastard.
