Remember that flea bomb I talked about a week ago? Apparently it worked on the spiders, causing this blog to take a forced hiatus. I realize that it's a big bummer for all of you followers, but you guys don't even know how high my self esteem is right now. I actually feel at peace inside my own house. Unfortunately, it didn't kill all the fleas and I still have to kill about 4-5 a day, but they don't bother me as much as arachnids.
So far I have seen a few downsides of living in this house with no spiders.
1. This morning when I went to take a shower I forgot to check the corners of the ceiling for spiders. I'm getting cocky. I think that just because I haven't seen one in 6 days, that they stopped existing. If this keeps up I'll probably have a spider in my hair in a few days due to my laziness.
2. I used to be careful about checking around my feet whenever I was standing still in a room for a while. Spiders can creep up on your feet and then onto your pants pretty quickly when you're motionless, and I used to constantly be aware of this. I need to bring back that acute awareness and keep incorporating it into my daily routines.
Outside of those few flaws, I'm still pretty aware of my surroundings. There's a few marks on my wall where the paint has chipped off, and when it's dark in my room the missing spot of paint can be mistaken for a bug or a spider. I still check them every night before I go to bed to make sure these marks haven't actually turned into a spider.
Daily Spider Count: 0
Weekly Spider Count: 0
Overall Feeling: This could be the first week since I moved in that I haven't seen a spider. Knock on wood, of course.
