So. When the new box of hay arrived earlier I had to stash it somewhere and under the stairs is the usual spot. I pulled everything out that was in there, moved what I had to, swept it up and in the middle of this, found my earphones. Now, my phone won't work properly with wired earbuds and these were the only ones I had and could I find them anywhere? No. Weeks I've been looking, and...there they are.

Well because I couldn't find them, I'd replaced them already. So when the battery on the new pair ran out earlier I went downstairs to get the other pair and use them and I can't find them. Anywhere. I'm vocally announcing my displeasure at this because where the hell did they go, it's not like they could walk away, and...no, I didn't, tell me I didn't do something as basic as put them in my pocket earlier.

My right hand jeans pocket, to be precise.

I hate Adulting.
 
Sigh. Speaking of Adulting...

I had a shower. I went downstairs afterwards wrapped in a towel, just to make sure there was no water in the kitchen. Paranoia, I know. Switch on the light, it looks dry, cool. Switch off the light and I hear what sounds sort of like a drip? Uh oh. Turn the light back on, nothing, realised it was probably a bird outside. Okay cool.

And then I noticed the massive tarantula of a giant house spider on the floor looking a bit...squished...and big. Did I mention massive? And it's in my way to the door. And I'm naked except for a towel and swearing a lot and y'know. This is how I die, right? Naked except for a towel and a heart attack after this thing inevitably runs at me because despite its squished appearance, it's still moving. Like walking. Not twitching, walking.

A couple of its legs were caught in something, explaining the squished look and the awkward walking. I managed to get past it and then, from the other side of the kitchen door, just sort of...poked it with the end of a broom til it was in the cavity space between the washing machine and the cupboard and then I ran. :flag:
 
Oooo those spiders will start coming indoors soon ……..
 
There's a much smaller one camping out on the kitchen windowsill and a cellar spider in the corner of the ceiling above the cellar door ( :)) ), there's two cellar spiders camped out on the ceiling just above the front door, and there's two (or, well. One for definite, the other one was MIA earlier) on the bathroom ceiling. I'm cool with them.

I would be quite happy if the giant spider/tarantula cross never crossed my line of vision again, however. Nopenopenope.

It still would've required getting out of the kitchen first lol.

True.... but I would have managed somehow as I wouldn't want to be held hostage by a spider!

Thanks for that! We've already had to hoover quite a few up and dump them outside. When I mention "we" I mean the OH if its a big hairy jobbie of a spider if it's the spindly little Harvestman jobbies I can just about deal with those.

I would not come into your house at all! Not with all those scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaary spiders!
 
You don't notice them unless you're looking for them. I've had a social worker in here whose spider phobia is almost crippling, and I've just made the decision to never mention them. She'll only see them if she looks up and she's got no reason to do so.

I'm dreading the day something like the one from earlier decides to make an appearance when I've got guests. They'll probably freak out and I'm not exactly going to deal with it, am I?!

That's like mine. I freak out at money spiders! I don't like the Harvestman Spider but as they are so spindly, I can pretend they aren't really spiders.
 
The cellar spiders aren't too bad, because they're mostly legs. Skinny, almost invisible legs. The body's what you see and it's barely a couple of mm long.

Giant house spiders, on the other hand, are not my favourite. But they're not normally the side of that absolute monster today. No Ser Spider has come close to that one and with a bit of luck no Ser Spider ever will.
