So, it’s come to this: 58 days into my shelter-in-place, and there is an itsy-bitsy spider (really and truly) crawling over the other pillow in my bed, and I’m letting her stay. To have some company.
Edit: She left her pillow and came over to me, so I took her outside, because she wasn’t observing social distancing. I’m also pretty sure she didn’t have a mask.
HOW ARE YOU DOING, FRIENDS?

Hello QG! A+ comment awards (as usual).
thanks, cleo! :-*
I can’t believe I also missed the magic wand mic!!
Oh my, thank you!! I did it all for my love of Batwoman!
Well fed, but emotionally shallow like a kiddie pool.
It’s def better than being numb with only rage as the only surfacing emotion, but it’s hella weirrrrrd.
A small child hiding in a tree with a supersoaker is an adorably delightful image that ordinarily make me squee for example.
same, lex, same!
Wow, Meryl Award! What an honor! Thank you.
But how come she has empty shelves though?
Right? Here’s a hilarious piece about it.

Did you name the spider?
I had a spider housemate for 2 days, I miss them :'(
My ex was terrified of spiders but one winter we both agreed to have a “spider in residence” to help with the bugs infesting our plants.
It was a good arrangement from our point of view : we selected one spider who could stay indoors and fatten up during the cold months (did they ever) and then in the spring I put them outside. We did that a few years in a row, until we moved to a new place with spiders the size of bread plates and we decided to maybe just never mind.
