When I was getting ready for work yesterday, I glanced at the wall by my alarm clock and noticed a little spider strolling down the wall. I was still in my pajamas, but I grabbed a Pyrex container and guided the visitor into the container. Then I quietly opened the door to my apartment, after making sure nobody was there, and sent the spider on its way. It was a fast little thing.
Then last night while in the shower, another spider graced me with his/her presense. It came out from behind my shampoo bottle, noticed me, then walked back behind the bottle. I wasn’t offended, I appreciated that the spider gave me some privacy. When I was ready to leave the bathroom, I noticed it had crawled out, into the open again. I wonder if it would be happier by my plants? It seemed lost.
Occasionally, a spider will take up residence somewhere in my place and when I see it on its web it feels like a little pet :)
Your spiders sound considerate. That shower one probably went looking for water and then went – whoa! That’s way too much water for me!
Laura, your comment made my day. Thank you! :)
I hate spiders. Last summer I made SD move our bed to find a spider that crawled underneath. It was a huge spider.
Silver: Sometimes I can live with the fact that spiders might be sharing my apartment, but it unsettles me when they’re in my bedroom.
I have liberated spiders from my home many, many times. But occasionally there will be a little one hanging from a thread by my kitchen sink and it always brightens my day. Those I just leave to their own devices.
