Animals on Strike



Well the animal life has finally gotten a little invasive. 

First of all I am sure you will all love this story since you know me and my fear for spiders. 

After being immensely sick for three days and having stayed with some girl friends for one night.  I had decided to return home to have my own space.  When reaching home and having to run to the bathroom, of course a large brown spider is awaiting me right on the wall of the entrance of the bathroom.  I quickly sped past it to use the bathroom where I was than attacked by a cockroach on the toilet.  SOoo it was really two against one.  However, the spider was more upsetting to me so I yelled at the spider, which was really just to make me feel better.  It was really a large spider, I know most of you are going oh yeah sure… but no it was huge.  I decide the best solution is to sweep the spider out of the cabina with the broom.  Of course my idea backfired quickly.  This spider had moves.  On the first sweet he moved to the side of the wall in a corner and went into a hiding position.  I than was frantically looking for it, thinking it was stuck to the bottom of the broom.  Ha the spider like I said had moves.  I than proceeded to do a 15 minute dance with this spider (me in the shower with shoes on and the spider along the far wall) trying to get it out with the broom.  I not only did not get it out, but lost the spider in the bathroom.  How I lost the spider I still do not know, however I knew it was not the last time we would meet.  

The next night, I came home and thought to myself ok… this is ok, the spider had to have gotten out.  Turns out once again while I was going to the bathroom the spider was right by my head, which was right by the light switch.  I than proceeded to be trapped in the bathroom for 15 minutes of course continuing my yelling at the spider.  I finally decided to make a break for it and when I ran through the door the spider ran the other way and needless to say I have not seen it since.  THANK GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!  I did however have to sleep with the bathroom light on for 2 nights in a row, while also taking my own light with me into the bathroom and flashing it around before entering.  

I normally just get geckos in my cabina but the other day actually saw a lizard!! It was just hanging out like no one’s business.  I took a picture and than after taking a picture realized I shouldn’t of done that since the light can blind them.  All of this wildlife is going nuts, the grass had gotten large so the wildlife came towards me more and than the grass was cut down again and the wildlife had nowhere to go soooo naturally the cabina where a nice girl lives seems like the appropriate choice!!

Additionally, while at work the other day, a crab just came walking on up.  I took some pictures and than felt really bad when I realized it was missing the majority of it's legs.  Which was quite sad to look at.  Poor little guy.  

 I am telling you the wildlife kind of spun out of control for a while.
