I've been trying to wake up a little earlier each day. The earlier I get to work, the earlier I can get out of there. I don't really have set hours. I just need to finish my tasks every day. I am trying to get to bed earlier, so I can get enough sleep. Last night though, I had a little trouble getting to sleep. So, I was pretty tired this morning. Tired enough to sleep in an hour. When I woke up, I still didn't feel refreshed. I sat down at the computer with my cup of hot green tea and was debating, whether or not, I should also have a cup of coffee. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I see movement across some papers stacked on my computer desk. I turn to look and see a spider, about the size of a compact car making his was towards me. Now, I have posted previously, that I am terrified of spiders. But, I am extremely terrified of spiders that are so large, that I can see the joints on their legs and the little hairs. "Holy Shit!" I scream as I push away from the desk. Now, I really don't like killing things. And, for a second, I debated trying to scoop him up and place him outside. But, trying to scoop up this Godzilla would have put my hands in too close a proximity to this guy. And, what would happen if I didn't get him. So, I grabbed the Raid. I managed to nail him dead on with the spray. He dropped off the desk somewhere. I'm hoping it killed him. If not, he's probably pretty pissed and plotting a revenge. Most likely tonight, when I am asleep. I keep making furtive glances around the floor, half expecting him to pop up and start crawling up my leg or something. So far, no spider. I think I got him.
