battle.
Tonight I did battle with a spider in my kitchen.
At first I thought it was a mouse running directly toward my feet. Then it charged at me two more times. The last time, I had a fly swatter.
I won.
I’m glad I won, or I would have slept like this tonight:
My arachnophobia has really eased up after a year of doing meditation and trauma work. At this point I wouldn’t claim a full-on phobia, as I let many spiders live in the house without disturbing them. And they don’t bother me.
A spider that can be mistaken for a mouse, however… THAT is a problem.
And I feel like I’m being eaten by a thousand million shivering furry voles.
