My room is crawling with spiders! Or it may be that I've just seen the same spider in three different places. It was crawling all three times. It was one of those white ones. I guess I'm going to have to either kill it, or capture it and set it free somewhere a few blocks away. I was cleaning my room, but I'm taking a break now, because the spider(s?) freaked me out. My policy has always been to leave the room until I forget about the spider, which gives it time to hide again. But I always find them when I try to clean. I should probably kill them. When I was a kid living in Texas there were spiders in the corner by my bed, and I used to wake up with spider bites on my arms and legs. I never saw them during the day, or at night for that matter because I was always asleep when I was bitten. I haven't been bitten by a spider in a really long time, though, so maybe I'm safe with the white one(s?) living in my room. Wouldn't it have bitten me by now if it was going to? I probably should kill it before it breeds and lays millions of eggs. I mean...they always interrupt my cleaning. I would probably get a lot more done if I killed spiders instead of avoiding them. I'm not arachnaphobic (sp?). I'm just afraid of spiders. Everyone in my family is. It's a common fear. I have a friend who's arachniphobic. That's how I know I'm not. She's way more afraid of spiders than I am.
