I haven't posted in what seems forever... but, okay.

It's raining today. The house is quiet. I'm not working, and am procrastinating, I suppose, with what I should be doing. I fell asleep almost immediately last night, crocheting, then woke up automatically four hours later, stayed in bed with a book, and slept again after finishing.

As is sadly usual, when I catch up and exceed recommended hours of sleep, I end up with nightmarish dreams.
I'm not arachnophobic, and good thing--because in this dream I was pursued by a small venemous spider. It followed me around various rooms in the house and doors didn't stop it. Crawled across the floor, the walls, the ceiling...it ballooned its way through the air on a web line--in the house! When Dad came inside, he was endangered also, and I gave warnings, like "Don't go there, it's building a web across your door," and "Above you!" until it landed on his hand and he moved to squish it.
I woke up about then. Was he bit? Probably. Even awake, I was caught up in the dream: could we have made it to a hospital in time? What kind of spider was it, really? I knew it was poisonous, because someone {who? I don't recall} had a few exotic spiders as pets and they were loose. (I was aware of one other poisonous spider, but it wasn't threatening me at the time.) And I swear, our dog Ginger was even sinister. At the least, letting her outside from inside, or inside from outside {ESPECIALLY that} was dangerous for some reason. *shakes head*

I'm proud of me, though. The black jumping spider inhabiting the kitchen landed on me today as I added water to the bamboo on the windowsill, and I didn't even react beyond a pause and a 'yep, forgot about this spider.' ^___^
