FACING DEATH AT 6:00 AM!!!!
So ... another rainy gloomy day ... the cats assist my removal from the bed ... stumble in the darkness into the bathroom ... switch on light ... eyelids snap shut .... then open gradually .... approach tub for morning ablutions .... happen to glance down at bath rug ... reach up to open shower curtain .... sudden small scream erupts in oldest part of brain [the part that used to scream 'saber tooth tiger dead ahead'] ... look back down at rug ... rub bleary eyes ... focus ... THERE! ... where the corner of the rug meets the corner of wall and tub ... SPIDER LEGS! LOTS of them! .... Well, eight at least .... the dastardly creature froze when the light switched on, hoping to attack when my naked feet approached the tub ....
Well .... two can play the game .... I quietly raced to the hall closet ... feverishly located the can of Black Flag Spider spray.... snuck back into the bathroom ... still lurking ... do I hear a tiny smug chuckle? ....
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTT!
Death on the bathroom floor!
I'll let you folks decide which one of us survived and is typing this report....
