Along Came a Spider

oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god.

I just found a spider in the kitchen. I was washing the dishes and I went to put a pot away in the cabinet below the kitchen counter. I open the door and see something scurry out into the corner on the floor. I look down and see a spider.

Now, whenever I see a spider, my first thought is always "Oh my god, it's a black widow and it's going to jump on my face and bite me". I HATE spiders. Ever since I saw Arachnophobia, they freak me out. This is the first time in the 2 years that I have lived in this apartment that I've seen a spider. I don't even know how this one got in. All the windows are closed and I don't ever leave the door open.

I'm also paranoid about killing them because I think that just as I'm about to squash it, it's going to jump on my face and bite me. I put on a oven mitt so that there was no chance it could bite my hand and I squashed it. Then I grabbed a piece of paper towel and kind of swept it up. I look down and what do I behold....

It was a fucking black widow! No joke. It was black and there was the little red hour glass shape.

I wanted to run out of my apartment screaming. How the hell did a black widow get into my apartment? Now I'm really freaked out. Where else are they hiding? There has to be a nest of them lurking somewhere. I can also never cook again, because it came from the cabinet where I keep all my pots and pans.

Ugh! I could barely finish washing the dishes because I kept having to look down to make sure that nothing was crawling up my leg.

Can someone come and make sure there's not a nest of black widows hiding under my bed?
