Where is Leo G. Carroll when I need him?

[aspidites]

Last night I was walking the waterproofing guy to the crawlspace entrance in the critter room when I noticed that my red-kneed tarantula had muscled the lid off her container and gone walkabout. Took me about 90 minutes of searching to find her, all the way at the other end of the basement, nestled amid my stash of primary fermenters next to the furnace. Popped her into a spare, though smallish, Critter Keeper, which at least has a more secure lid. Have to find a more appropriately sized container later.

So I was up till 01:30, rummaging about in the basement, stirring up dust and mold. Now I'm at work, tired and headache-y. Wonder if I can decamp early?
