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.

That is a JUMPING SPIDER. Disguised as an ant! Nefarious, evil creatures.

via UglyOverload, which gives me a heart attack every other day.

Now, will someone who is not arachnaphobic look at that site and follow some links and tell me where these live so I NEVER go there? I just don’t have it in me tonight to see pictures of jumping spiders that don’t look like ants.

For the love of all that’s holy… gah.
