Roommate situation.

Glancing over the side of my bed the other night, I happen to time it just right that I got to watch a spider crawl across the floor and hide underneath my dresser. I took stock of the situation, considered the variables, and said, "Hi, spider buddy!"

Yes. Out loud.

It made me so happy to see that little spider. Now, this was a tiny, pale animal - small enough it could easily fit on any of my fingernails. Too small to do me any harm. I took it as a good sign, because it'd be nice to have something else in my apartment besides me and my plants. Best of all, knowing there's a spider around means I don't have to worry about other invertebrate invaders. I've got a spider buddy on my side. It'll all be taken care of by the time I get up in the morning for my own breakfast.

Sometimes I think about how weird it is that I spend most of my time in sealed-off spaces with NO NONHUMAN ANIMALS IN THEM. I mean, how bizarre and freakish and creepy is that? And then I look up and see the cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling and I feel better. ^_^

All-natural pest control. I don't know how the spider got in here to begin with, but I'm glad to have them.
