COUNT: 2

2: On the ceiling of my bedroom just now, a quarter's diameter, wicked-looking and spindly. It's past 1a, so I had to kill it quietly by sort of slide-smashing it with the end of the Sorry Stick. It did the job. Its curled-up remains now rest at the bottom of my trashcan, which has a lid on it. This is the only spider allowed for February, everyone

my room has a skylight and the spiders have figured out that i can't smash them up there. or the spiders that are up there have some genetic variation which makes them inclined to hang out near the warmth/light. one implies spider intelligence and one implies i am selecting for ballsy daytime spiders; there is no comfort here.

This is but one of the many reasons why I wish for a Starfleet-issue hand phaser on a weekly, perhaps daily, basis.

I suggest the construction of a cardboard weapon! Keep it by your bed; it'll induce a surprising amount of comfort.
