TWICE. Vlad has brought spiders upstairs to play with TWICE tonight. In the space of 15 minutes. The fucking huge ugly wolf spiders. (Don't google. TRUST ME.)
I'm glad he's catching them, I'm glad I recognize that hunting warble, but seeing my cat come around the corner with wiggling spider legs hanging from his mouth?
DO NOT WANT. NIGHTMARE FUEL.

"Mommy, looked what I found for you! Let's play with them!"
Hubby liked wolf spiders. He'd catch mosquitos for them. There was a fair bit of Addams Family to his life approach.

I totally respect that. I know my phobia is completely irrational.

His forbearance did not extend to other species of the creatures.

Tons to do today, so of course I did not sleep at all last night. Ugh.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Went to the Dublin Writers Museum today. We are also day tripping Shamrokon. Tomorrow we fly home. Sigh.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I had a horrible night for "sleep" myself -- aches and pains and twitches. And I left my ibuprofen home, which might have helped more than the Tylenol I did have. Bleh.
Instead of cat-sitting, I'm Aunt-sitting, which is more interactive. We may even go to a movie matinee this afternoon, which sounds like exactly the kind of diversion that would keep her from fretting about the fate of the shore house, which is being emptied this weekend preparatory to final demolition and lot sale.
My poor cousin, who just dropped her only child off to college this week, is going to be helping with the house, so she's really getting hit on two emotional fronts at once.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sorry, guys -- I slept a ton! I know "they" say there's no such thing as making up lost sleep, but I do not believe it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh god, wolf spiders. We get them sometimes up at the cabin, and they are fucking terrifying. The fact that they aren't at all dangerous is entirely beside the point. Furry + extra legs + HUGE = lizard-brain-freakout.
