Just finished a book that made me want to throw it across the room and totally crash out. My hats off to authors who can weave stories that cause my emotions to run the gamut from joy to devastation. They are truly magical beings.

That sounds…unpleasant.

They do. But wild spiders also can get pretty large. Either way, it was a larger 8-legged nope.

It happens more often than I’d like. Perks of living on the edge of town I guess.

Well now I’m gonna throw up. 🤢

It’s was by the time she had dragged it onto the brick wall.

At least it was outside?

I had a very similar response. 😂

Yep, like a train wreck. 😂

It might be. It looks small to be a tarantula (the photo is zoomed in). I’ve seen plenty of those around and this was definitely smaller than the ones I’ve seen, so maybe it was a young one.

I may never sleep again after discovering this nightmare fuel on the back patio. Some sort of bug was dragging a wolf spider around. I made @horseyj.bsky.social go out there and take pics so we could identify it. Apparently spider wasps are a thing. So. That’s great.

It was a flood. Yes, we moved back in at the end of August thankfully. It was a very stressful summer!

Thank you random internet weirdos for reminding me why I haven’t been very active on social media the past year. Have the day you deserve. 🫡

That’s really nice of you! And understandable. Everyone is struggling right now in one way or another it seems.

Oh no! I hope he’s ok!

I don’t believe that will happen. In 2019 legislation was passed guaranteeing back pay. And historically everyone has always gotten back pay (at least for those of us deemed essential and required to work throughout the shutdown).

We were making guesses for how long it would last. I said 36 days. So that puts us into the first week of November.

Seriously sarcastic, even.

That is awesome! We didn’t get married until 2011, but yeah, it’s bittersweet for sure.
