Anyone else hate spiders? 
I don't have a phobia about these insects no more than most other folks I don't think. (except decidedly "odd" folks who actually seem to like them and will keep them as "pets" ewwww) Flying, buzzing insects, especially the stinging variety are my waterloo as far as the insect world goes. But still don't like spiders very much at all. And don't' like to go to sleep in a room where one has escaped and have been unable to find him. I have woken up before now when this has happened with the thing actually crawling on me! Ewww. So, I try to find out my Sammy the Spiders before bedtime if they are around.
Tonite I slept early, somewhat unusual. Woke about three am, and made coffee and answered emails and read a little. And suddenly, spotted something not too big, kinda small really, scurrying across the wall at the back of my desk. So, having John Calvin's institutes in my hand, did what any reasonable person would do, and used the book to send Sammy to his last spiders web! Then went back to reading. And an hour or more later, spotted something else. This was a huge, great, massive, dirty great thing. But still had the institutes in my hand and at the ready. Ah, so ole Deejay can have the rest of a peaceful, spider infested free nite now. |
