Single in the City

So the funniest part of my last post is that I am now, in fact, single. And yes I have encountered a few tasks that I used to call "man jobs" that I now must complete on my own. They mainly include killing bugs, taking out trash, and putting gas in my car. Why can't Illinois be one of those states that doesn't allow you to pump your own gas - must move to one of those someday!

So on the bug front - One evening I returned from the gym and when I was getting into the shower I discovered a spider web that went from one side of the shower to the other - and what was in the middle of this web? I big brown spider. EEEEWWWW! I had no idea what to do - so I decided to get a pitcher from the kitchen, fill it with water and throw it at the spider web. This did not end exactly as I hoped. The spider did fall into the bottom of the shower but as I threw the pitcher for some reason I pulled my arm back and ended up soaking the entire bathroom. How does that happen??? So now I have a wet and slippery floor and a spider running around my bath tub. Next I go and put on some tennis shoes and stop that spider all while almost biffing it. The end result is the spider is dead, which is what matters, but it also ended with a big mess.

Genius I tell ya..
