beccaelizabethReally big spider! Big as the palm of my hand! Big big!
You know how fast those bastards are when they're that big?
I walked into the bathroom, sat down, then noticed the spider.
Which was up on a wall. Far. Away. And some things cannot be cut short for anything less than a major emergency, which far away spiders are not. So there it was and there I was and I suspect neither were happy.
I did not panic. I did things in logical order. I was calm and reasonable. I got the door unlocked and open before attempting spider catching. First attempt with the long handled extending floor cleaner just knocked the spider in the sink. Spiders cannot get out of wet sinks. So second attempt needed a spider bridge and some picking up. And did I mention fast? Fast!
But now the spider is OUT and the door is closed and locked and has no gaps sufficient for a spider that size. Seriously, BIG spider. Argh!
... so then I panic a bit and come tell the internet.
Spider! Aah!
... God I'd be useless as an alien catcher. As soon as one skittered or had too many legs... *shudders*
