Apr. 21st, 2010 01:35 amRemember when I told you about the spider in my bed?
No? It's just the next entry down. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Done?
IT CAME BACK. I regret to inform you that I could not keep myself from a gasped "Jesus fucking Christ!" as I flew out of bed this time, but I did make sure the eight-legged terror with terrible timing will not be making another appearance. I have also had a soothing cup of herbal tea, which will in theory be putting me to sleep any time now.
Apparently the world is against me having a restful night's sleep.

Apr. 20th, 2010 08:28 pmSo the night before last, just as I was packing the computer away and getting ready to slip under the covers, a spider dropped out of the sky/appeared from nowhere on the blanket in front of me. I jumped about a yard straight up in the air and sideways, doing my damnedest not to scream because it was one in the morning, and I am proud to report that I made nothing more than a tiny squeaking noise at most.
Still, I was cold, definitely and unpleasantly awake, and there was a SPIDER IN MY BED. This was a problem, especially since I had no handy way to kill it without ickifying the bed and no other bed I could quietly retire to for the evening. Eventually I got rid of the spider by the simple expedient of removing it, blanket and all, to a completely different room and getting a new blanket (after much twitching and inspecting to make sure there was no SPIDER IN MY BED).
Of course, after that lovely little kick of adrenaline, I spent a fairly wakeful night, alternating a sort of half-awake drowse with long periods of paranoid watchfulness.
Last night I went to bed early, and I was so tired this morning that when my alarm went off, I did not understand what was happening. There was not enough human in my skull to figure it out, especially at 8 am.
This is all my way of saying, "God, I'm ridiculously tired, but for once I know why."
Fucking spiders.
