Well, that was an invigorating start to the day

Slap “Snooze” a few times. Stumble out of bed.

Lurch into the bathroom. Shave. Brush teeth.

Take off glasses. Blind now. Okay, used to it.

Step into bathtub. Close shower curtain. Turn on water. Turn knob so water comes out of shower nozzle instead of the tap.

Notice big dark spot where water has splashed on shower curtain.

Notice that there’s a bunch of light spots in middle of big dark spot. Hunh. Funny–shouldn’t be any soap suds there. Haven’t started shampooing yet. Guess they’re there from yesterday, but that’s kinda weird.

Lean in reeeeal close to see soap suds in more detail. No glasses, after all.

Notice that big dark spot has just grown legs and is now running around.

Interior monologue: Well, crap. My eyeball’s gonna get et by a spider in my own bathroom. This is gonna suck.

Exterior vocalization: “Eeeaaaauuughhh!!!”

Discover that a heartbeat of >200 BPM enables one to teleport over short distances.

I’ve made that discovery myself, finding also that interposed objects will not move out of one’s way. Ouch.

Wow, you just developed mutant powers. Go you! :cool:

Did the spider live?

YEEAOOOW!! I once woke up to find a millipede on the wall about two feet above my head. shiver

Yuck! I was cleaning off the knife block that has been sitting untouched for years (having taken the knives I like and put them in the knife drawer). So, I’m running water over it and scrubbing a decade of crud off it, and this BIG HONKING TUNNEL SPIDER with googly eyes runs out of one of the holes.

I scalded his ass and waved to him as he went, counterclockwise, down the drain. Fucker. Good riddance.

Depends on how you define “live”. In the sense of “Achieve spiritual immortality by becoming one with the Cosmic All”, then yes.

I teleported once, too, after sitting in the bathtub, having a nice relaxing bath, and seeing a cockroach come out of the top, overflow drain. I don’t actually remember getting out of the tub, but all of a sudden I was out. I don’t particularly care for those overflow drains now - I would prefer to stop them up and take my chances with overflowing water.

And, in other adivce, never buy the wrong bananas1 :eek:

A bit sneaky of the thing to “wander” to Devon.
Celyn hates and fears creepy crawlies.
