silverflight8OK, the spider-squashing season has officially opened. In my room, anyway.
A couple weeks ago, I was reading in bed when a black spider ran out of the book jacket, stunning me, and scuttled around the pillow. By the time I'd gotten over the shock and checked to see where the thing'd gone, there was no sign of it.
Then yesterday, sitting brazenly in my sink, I found and squashed another one. It had strung a piece of silk from the faucet to the side, and I was rather shocked--I used that sink just that day. I found one crouched on the floor today as well.
They don't seem to be too big at the moment (thankfully). In the spring, all the small, tiny spiders are out, sitting on my floor, often unmoving even as I squish them. The older ones (the ones that survive) are far more canny; they will run (including onto you, which is the worst) at the slightest shift in the air.
Ugh.
