So, when I came down to bed tonight The Spider had returned. (Which makes me think he has been visiting every night. There is no telling how many times he has watched me go to the bathroom.) This time, since I was home all alone (nobody loves me, sniff, they all left for the weekend), I took the advice I had been given and threw George at The Spider.
No. Literally. I threw him.
Don't judge me.
I really did try to just coax him (George) into the bathroom first, but to be really successful with that I would have had to put myself between George and The Spider. Which... no. So, since time is always of the essence when dealing with large arachnids, I tossed George into the bathroom in the general vicinity of The Spider.
At first I was worried George wouldn't be interested (The Spider wasn't moving), but after a few second things started to happen. A little movement. A little flipping. A little chasing back under the wall. And The Spider was back on his side of the basement.
So, while not dead maybe at least a little scared off of this side. And, I am not actually sure I want The Spider gone. I have noticed an amazing drop in the number of Spider Crickets compared to last year.
Maybe The Spider and I can work out a time-share on the bathroom.
Oh, also, originally I was going to put a different spider picture or fact with each time I used "The Spider" and then I couldn't because it grossed me out too much to look through all of the pictures. I can't help it! They give me the heebie-jeebies.

You threw my cat? You're in big trouble, missy! Anyway, glad he could be of service. I wonder if he could have helped out with the mosquito issues up in ME.
We have a spider living in the folds of our living room curtains, about an inch long, with legs, along with her 50 or so pint sized babies. We're all a very spider-tolerant household here (ahem) and have let her be (you monster!) Hehe.
By the way Court, when you typed "up in ME", I thought you meant "up in me". You know. And when my state abbreviations came back to me, I was very relieved. Because, eww...
oh, haha, I also thought Court was saying "me." Like, up in here. I was like, heeyy, Court's talkin' cool. But not.
I'd like to thank myself for suggesting AMAZING CAT for the spider wrangling task. I knew George would be perfect for it. And you said the spider would inject venom into G Kitty. Ha!!!
