GAH! (Literally)

I was on a call with C-Dawg yesterday when the sun came out (it's been a bit more cloudy/slightly rainy the last few days, yay) and I wanted to make sure my place didn't heat up.  So I wandered into my bedroom to turn the fan on and when I got to the window where the fan is, there was a spider who had used the leg (?) stand of the fan to make a nest and I squealed!

I mean not terribly loud or long or anything but C-Dawg got to witness my "I JUST SAW A BIG SPIDER!" noise and then we got off of the call pronto so that I could escort said spider out into the hallway (and knock down the web thing.)

This is the third spider I've seen this week, and I'm not sure why (or that I want to think about why) but the one in my bathroom I annoyed until it moved (it was in the shower and I don't like looking at them and thinking about them falling on my head as I'm in there, so I blew on the web a bit until it eventually moved and now it's in another corner I'm not worried about.) There's also one in my kitchen and it's a BIG ONE but I'm letting it be as it's kind of ignorable if I don't look in that particular corner above that particular cupboard.   But yeah, three spiders this week.  

OH, and I nearly forgot, a small one that nearly made me break my laptop.

See, I sit most of the time on my couch/lounger with my knees up and a laptop "desk" (for air flow, in theory) and my laptop.  This is how I type and watch shows and all the rest and it's how I relax especially at night.

So I'm there the other night watching who knows what (see "distracting self" from previous post.. sigh) and right next to the keyboard, on the lap desk thing there was suddenly this small little spider and I PANICKED!

As I I yelled and sat up and kind of half threw the lap desk towards my feet even though MY LAPTOP WAS ON IT!!!! and then the spider got knocked on to my blanket but my laptop was ok, and I realized I should be more careful but I flicked the spider a few times until it fell on to the floor and then I felt really badly that I nearly yeeted my laptop due to spider proximity panic.  SPP.  It's dangerous y'all!
