And you very likely just heard it a little bit ago. Even if you are on a different continent.
Seriously.
It was very loud this time.
'splanation: I have this noise I make when I see a spider. It's sort of a choked gasp. My husband recognizes it and knows exactly what it means: I've seen a spider. And I need him to come deal with it. I've actually been a bit better lately about spiders.
But not anymore!
There's a gi-normous spider in my garage right now. I just saw it near the garage door when I went down there to open it for my husband. (He's on his way home, and I like to open the door for him if I think about it in time.)
Any way, it's as big as a diet coke can (diameter). I am not exaggerating. And it's not a Daddy-longlegs. It's fat. And ugly. And scary as all get out.
In fact, I want to get out. Seriously. I don't know if I want to cry, run or some other thing. I actually whimpered a few times. And rocked. My heart is still racing and I'm not really breathing very deeply.
My husband just called to say he's delayed. He's actually picking up an emergency prescription of Lamictal for me, since I'm absolutely out and my mail order has not arrived yet. He's dealing with the insurnace issue right now. He's a gem. I'm grateful he's getting my meds on hiw way home. But I want him HOME RIGHT NOW!
The spider is no longer in sight. I HATE THAT! WHere is it???????
AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
