Dewd, what? Haven't you ever seen a dog wearing a cowboy hat before?
Other than pushing myself one step closer to being that weird old lady with 37 dogs all wearing little outfits, my week has been mostly about freaking out. Yes, the Move Freakout officially started last night. I realized I don't have anything packed, no UHaul rented--hell, no house to put any of my stuff in once I get these things done. It's all good. I've got a plan. It's called Bigass Storage Unit.
The freakout was partly induced by the realization that unless I want to go all over town hunting boxes to put my crap in, I'm actually going to have to go in the shed, where the spiders are. All the boxes from the last move have been sitting in there collecting critters for a year. I got two out by sticking my broom in there and sort of poking it around with my eyes closed. Then I stood there and hit the boxes with the broom until whatever creepy crawly evildoers were in there had vacated the premises. But somehow the big boxes (which I really need) got pushed to the back of the shed, where I'm guessing the biggest evilest C.C.E.s with the most legs and fattest stomachs are making their homes.
My options are to bug bomb the place or bribe the little kids across the street to get them out for me. I might go with the first one. The kids witnessed the scene described above, so they know what the situation is and are aware that they can pretty much name their price. There could be gouging. (BTW, these are the same kids who advised me to give Minnie hot sauce so she'd be meaner and thus a better guard dog.)
The spider fear is reaching paralysis level, I realize this. Sorry, I don't like spiders. Ever since I saw Arachnaphobia in the movie theater and came home to find a giant killer spider the size of a silver dollar in my bed, I can't abide anything with more than four legs. And I can't watch that scene in the 3rd Lord of the Rings movie where Frodo gets attacked by the giant killer spider the size of his house. It's like it was sucked directly out of my nightmares......
Ack.
