HA!

Ok that was the funniest thing!

As happens from time to time, I got in the shower to wash my hair and there was a spider in the far corner.  (The spider is the time to time thing, not the showering, just to be clear, I don't smell!)

I've probably talked about it before, but when there is a spider in the shower area, I will generally blow on them during the shower.  My thinking being that the spider will get annoyed and think "this is not a calm area for a web" and will move.  It has worked every time I've done it so far - the spider is gone by next shower.

So I got into the shower and was wetting down my hair and saw the spider in the far corner.  Ugh.  So I blew, expecting the usual "shaking of the web" that usually happens but this time, I blew, and the spider went FLYING!

Like FLYING right out of the corner, and thankfully through the small gap of the shower curtain and the wall but man oh man that was hilarious.  Maybe it had just arrived and hadn't yet set up a web or secured any webbing or who knows what but that has never happened before and honestly I'm not even sure how it happened as it did as I don't have that much strength to my "blow" of air and I was blowing into a corner and it flew off to the left?  It was comically hilarious.

But also meant I don't know where it landed and so after pushing the curtain aside for a moment, I just made sure to shake out my towels before I used them.  (I assume it landed on the ground and hurried to the dark spot under the radiator.)

I wish you could have seen it you guys, it was the funniest thing.  Puff... WHEEEEEE! Like a zip line I didn't know was there!
