SPIDERS
We live in a basement apartment, so we often see spiders. I hate spiders with a passion, so it’s naturally Skigh’s job to do the killing. I don’t even like to be in the same room when he’s killing the spider because I’m afraid it’ll somehow jump out of the paper towel and land on me. The favorite spider spot is in our bathroom. They like crawling into our bathtub and waiting there to scare me to death. One time, I saw three in the tub at the same time. And these aren’t the little tiny spiders. These are the big black ones. Needless to say, I never enter anymore without doing a thorough search of the area. The newest trick the spiders have come up with is to wait outside our door in the morning and then run in as soon as we open the door to leave. The spiders that do this are the grayish/whitish kind. They run in so fast like they know their lives are in danger. This has happened a few times in just the past couple of weeks. Now I can’t even walk out of our apartment without being on guard. And the spiders seem to know when Skigh is gone, and I’m all alone because they suddenly come out of hiding. But don’t worry, I can handle them myself. My specialty is spraying any kind of cleaning product/hairspray…whatever is handy. I spray and spray and spray until the spider stops moving. Then I cover it with a cup and wait for Skigh to come home and take care of it. I’m also good at strategically pouring water on the tub- spiders until they go down the drain. I then wait to make sure they don’t climb back up. So, basically the point of this story is to tell you that we are winning the war against the spiders. And I can’t wait to move.
