I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Well, I was afraid of the spider enough that I avoided going into the garage. Which was a problem as that is where the laundry is and also where I let my swim stuff dry. So I had to deal with it. K keeps pointing out that there are probably babies all over the garage.

Blargh.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I FEEL AWESOME THAT I HAVE VANQUISHED THAT MOTHERFUCKER!

I saw a Jillifont this afternoon and monologued for a moment that it should know the rules, Jillifonts don't belong near my doors or inside. It could skitter away or I was killing it.

It stayed, I smacked it with my shoe. And it? disintegrated.

Apparently it was a corpse that I'd left as a warning. Seems to have worked.

On second look, there's probably 1/2-1" outside right now. So that's a big "NO" on going anywhere not walking.

Kat, I would suggest you avoid thinking about baby Jillifonts. Eek.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Today in my jillifont friendly house I was startled to see one directly in front of my face, bouncing up and down most disconcertingly. Could not figure out what was going on until I realized..it had cast a thread down from one of the ceiling fan blades. I turned off the fan, and as it slowed down, the jillifont swung around and around like one of those fair swing rides. I tried to get video but of course you can't see it so I now have footage of my ceiling fan. It finally climbed up on the blade, webbed over to another and I lost track of it. I assume it left because nothing fell off when I turned the fan back on later.

I'm ok with jillifonts except poisonous ones. They have their place, just not where me and my cats go. I let a couple of wolfspiders have a bunch of fun on my porch this fall. Added to the halloween ambiance.

That's unfortunately most of them here. It's led to zero tolerance. I react ... poorly.

They are welcome outside. Unless actual Jilli is visiting, then I"d prefer they scamper to another abode for a while.

You know, I think we are less talky in general. Is this true, or is it because I am uber-talky because the SO is not home?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well, we don't have ita around and she was very good at getting conversations going.
