And I already used "Ack!"

The itsy, bitsy spider, climbed up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
So the itsy, bitsy spider went up the spout again.

Yeah, we all know the song (even if some people say eensy weensy - Dorks). It's cute...ish. However, this does not protect you from them when they invade your bathroom. Why are all the big bugs going after me?

I was visited this morning by a very large brownish-blackish fuzzy spider this morning in the bathroom. And I do mean large, it was at LEAST 75% larger than a US quarter. He was sitting next to the toilet against the wall (that is shared with Ron's "workshop" - read "pot greenhouse" - okay I don't actually know what it is, but he is mighty secretive about it)watching me pee with everyone of his eight beady little blood-sucking eyes.

Obviously I got out of there as soon as possible, skipping part of my morning routine, and of course I shut the door firmly behind me so that he couldn't roam the apartment while I was gone.

Shut-up.

I know he didn't use the door to get in, but I was already thinking about when I got up to go to the bathroom last night without turning on the light. I needed a false sense of security that he wouldn't be in my bed when I got home. (Oh gross! He could have come from anywhere in the apartment including my bed.) What if I had stepped on him? What if he bit me?

Maybe this was because I didn't like Spiderman 2.
