Not how I wanted to wake up

[andrewducker]

I woke up and looked up to see a small movement of tiny legs about a foot above my head.

"Wonderful!" I thought. We've not had many spiders in the house, but last week I took a mesh pan lid out of the dishwasher to find a 2 inch wide spider sitting on the other side of it. The news that we had more of them infesting the house did not fill me with joy.

I carefully sat up to one side of it and took a closer look. It was huge, a bit larger even than the monster I had to get rid of last week.

And then it rotated in my direction, flicked it's legs so little knives came out, and swung directly at my face. And I woke up with a little scream.

And now I itch all over.

Fwiw you can get a peppermint spray that they actively dislike and tend to leave even though it does them no harm.

When you mentioned "tiny legs" I thought they were Loki's ...

Thankfully she has not taken to hovering above my head, Exorcist style. If she does, that photo is definitely going on the internet!

Ick! Ick! Ick!

Now I'm itching. What a horrible nightmare.
