This morning, as I was in the shower and sudsing the shampoo into my hair, I noticed a spider sitting beside my loofah.\u00a0 He wasn’t in motion, and almost seemed frozen as if he was afraid to move because I might notice him.\u00a0 But it was too late.\u00a0 I had, and my shower was ruined.<\/p>\n
I could no longer be free to calmly sing and relax under the stream of hot water…I could only stare over my shoulder at the tiny eight-legged jerk that had invaded my space.\u00a0 And then, worst of all, he started to move.\u00a0 CLOSER to me.\u00a0 I freaked out.\u00a0 One option:\u00a0 get out alive.<\/p>\n
I truly, truly dislike spiders, but I don’t kill them.\u00a0 it’s not in my nature.\u00a0 You may remember Ned<\/a>\u00a0and his release<\/a>.\u00a0 And I let this\u00a0one go as well.\u00a0 Except this time I didn’t gently take him outside, I just ignored him and hoped he would take himself outside – where he belongs.\u00a0 And clinging to this hope is the only way I will be able to hop in the shower tomorrow morning.\u00a0 That and the hope that Dan also saw him and squished him to death.<\/p>\n What?\u00a0 I said I don’t kill them….What other people do is their own beeswax.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This morning, as I was in the shower and sudsing the shampoo into my hair, I noticed a spider sitting beside my loofah.\u00a0 He wasn’t in motion, and almost seemed frozen as if he was afraid to move because I might notice him.\u00a0 But it was too late.\u00a0 I had, and my shower was ruined.
