Spiders...Ick!

Woke up this morning to spiders in both the downstairs and upstairs. Ick! It must be that there is some kind of nest that hatched somewhere because yesterday there was no sign of spiders anywhere and today there were tons of the little critters. I sucked all that I could see up with the vacuum cleaner this morning and then went back again this evening. I think I've gotten most of them. Will do one more sweep before bedtime.

I went to help my German friend Sonja with her baby today and she made a very German comment about the spiders. She said at least we know that there is nothing unhealthy like asbestos or other toxins in our walls or else the spiders couldn't survive. Spiders, according to her, indicate a healthy house. Small comfort.

Had an amazing moment today. Only had to wait five minutes at the post office. Shortest wait time I've ever had there. I wanted to commemorate the day.

When I went to get food for the bunnies, there was this horrible couple bickering at each other in the pet store. This is a really small store, so everyone in it could hear them. They were picking out a collar and leash for a dog and in the process of disagreeing about what leash to get, they were insulting each other. It was so incredibly tacky...and sad.

Cousin Ollie is coming to visit this weekend. Skip has a weekend of football and pubs planned. I need to go and wash the sheets in the guest bedroom.
