Jeff and I were relaxing on the couch tonight, taking in a little Netflix, when Osa starting doing her crazy "I have to go outside" routine. So I slipped on my shoes and waddled out the back door to tie her up. Normally I take her out the front door because I can turn the porch light on from the inside of the house and it seems a little scary to go out the back into the dark backyard. But tonight I was feeling brave. It was dark out, but not so dark I couldn't see where I was going. Still, I decided to flip the outside light on (which is only accessible once on the outside about 6 feet from the door) so that I would be able to bring her back inside more easily (really just so it wouldn't be so scary). Immediately after the light flooded the deck, I saw that I had come much too close to a giant spider that was dangling a few feet from where I stepped just moments before. I, of course, was totally repulsed and nearly let out a screech. Then I did what anybody else would have done. I grabbed a broom and, well, you know....
Needless to say, I think I will be returning to the well-lit front door potty option in the days to come. At least until it's too cold for spiders. I wonder if it ever gets too cold for spiders in Missouri.
