TINY SPIDERS
Jun. 14th, 2008 08:04 amI stayed up all night. I did not mean to do this. But I was lying in bed, checking a few things on the laptop (as I do) and suddenly there was a tiny spider hanging down in front of the screen. This tiny spider could have descended from nowhere but the ceiling. I'm really surprised that much webbing fit into such a small spider. So...I tried to squish it. But it was super fast and got away! ...and possibly into my keyboard.
One tiny spider with uncanny descending powers is okay. I can live with that. Chances are something like that isn't going to crawl in my ear and lay a hatch of eggs. I've come to terms with the fact that I will probably eat several small bugs in my sleep over the years. But then there was ANOTHER ONE. That first spider couldn't have possibly gotten back up to the ceiling in that amount of time.
Now I have the mental image of hundreds of tiny spiders crawling around my room and a creepy-crawly feeling is really not conductive to sleep. Even if I moved myself and a blanket down to the living room couch.
I'm more amused than worried about this, but I'm definitely giving my room a good clean today.
