I found a huge spider walking across the kitchen floor this morning. My first instinct was to scream, but I held back because I hadn’t made it to the coffee machine yet, and I didn’t want to use up what little energy I had. With the coffee brewing I revisited my spider situation. He was polite enough to wait for me to fix the coffee before we continued our encounter. So, there he stood (or sat, not sure) looking me straight in the big toe. I named him Frank. We didn’t speak the same language, so I had really no idea how to ask him his real name. Frank hadn’t violated any household rules, so I didn’t feel that it was necessary to kick him out. Although, it would have been nice if he would have warned me he was moving in. Hmm… actually I have no clue if he was moving in or moving out. It was all too much for me to process before having any coffee, so with fresh coffee in hand, I went to my computer. I can’t see if he is still there at this time. I wonder what he is thinking.
