It came from inside the bag!
Yesterday was Surprise Thursday! Oh boy.
My purse was in a bag I've been using, and I wanted to get something out of it, so naturally I went in the bag. Except I noticed what looked like cobwebs in the bag. That's...really odd, especially since I was just in the bag the day before; it's not like I haven't touched it in months. I found an old rag and started wiping out the inside of the bag; yeah, that's definitely a spider web. And then I found the spider, which was still emitting web.
...
Had it been a smaller spider, I probably would not have, y'know, freaked. But it was a pretty decent-sized spider. I immediately removed what I could from the bag and ran it outside. I shook that thing like I was Ferris Bueller in the Von Steuben parade. Alas, the spider was enjoying itself, so I ended up grabbing a stick, making the spider climb on, and then putting the stick in the bushes in front of the house. *shudder* See, the nice thing was that it was probably warmer there, anyway, since the house is so cold.
In a way, I'm actually thankful for our just-over-60F house, because I was not the recipient of yesterday's other surprise. My father takes milk in his coffee, but yesterday he didn't take a sip of his coffee until he was partway to work, and as soon as he sipped he rolled down his window and spit it out--the milk had curdled. Normally I have a bowl of cereal in the morning, so on your average morning I'd have experienced that, except it was so cold I opted for Cinnabon Cream of Wheat and a Pop-Tart. Mmm, warm. Had the same this morning. Anyway, after he got home and told me what happened, I went to wash out the jug. Sure enough, it looked like drinkable yogurt in there. Ew.
Thankfully the rest of the day was uneventful, but dang.
