"Along Came A Spider"

While laying on my bed writing along comes a black spider! I tried to kill it with paper. The spider survived my paper attack and ran off towards the head of the bed and down between the wall and the bed. I searched everywhere, under my pillow, blanket. I even Threw the pillows, blankets all my stuff. Shook the hell out of everything!! Nope NO SPIDER!! I can not rest or sleep until that spider is found and killed!! This is not going to be a good night. 

Even if I slept with the covers over my head he could find a way in!! I told my boyfriend maybe we should leave a snack or crumbs for him then when he comes back I kill it and make sure he's dead! My boyfriend didn't find that too funny. I’m not sleeping until the spider from hell is dead and he goes down the toilet to make sure he won't be back! 

This is the Night from hell.!! With this black spider hanging around. No pun intended lol. Update... While I went out of the room to get a drink after my stressful time with Mr. spider, my boyfriend comes out and says the spider is dead. He killed it. 

He searched for it where I told him it had gone. He pulled the mattress away from the wall. Low and behold Mr. black spider was just strolling along coming out from that corner of the bed. 

Yay!! So happy. But now everything freaks me out. I can't stop looking to make sure he didn't have friends out for a Thursday night feast. Trying to get it together and calm down. Eventually I will. But I'm always going to be watching to make sure Mr. Spider or Mrs. Spider didn't have a family.

"Product Packaging From Hell"

I went to the store today to go buy a pair of scissors because I couldn't find my other pair. 

I bought them, bring them home. I try to take them out of the packaging only to find I NEED SCISSORS just to get them out of the damn package! WTH!! I have none that's the whole reason why I bought these.  So I got aggravated and pulled the package open and pieces of the package went flying. Well at least I got them out. 

Damn the people who steal stuff. Now the stuff we buy has to be wrapped up like fort Knox to make it harder for them to steal.  But makes it harder for the honest people to get there stuff out! 

it was that hard plastic crap. It had a button looking thing like you could just un snap that and out comes your scissors.  Well nope that wasn't what it was. I actually was able to push the sharp part of the scissors through the tough package but still had the handles in the package. That's when I said screw it and pulled it apart. The handles were looped twice with this crap! The funny part is they don't package some things that should be sealed up good in this plastic from hell.

Took me almost 10 minutes to figure out how to get them out. Good thing it wasn't something very important that I needed quick for an emergency or I'd be dead by now.

"How I Like To Sleep"

I have a big king size blanket. I divide it in the middle so it's under me. Then I lay on that and fold the other half over myself and roll so it wraps right around me and there ya have it I'm in my own cozy burrito in my own space to myself. Lol.

But you can get stuck in it to, It's happend to me lol. I forgot what way to roll when I wake up and it gets tighter as the blankets keep you captive till you figure out how to roll to get free.  Haha. I've had those mornings when someone wakes me up. Hard enough just getting up on my own. So im pissed having to get up. I roll the wrong way!, Now I'm a pissed off mummy incased in this damn burrito fighting my way out as I'm yelling you messed up my whole morning already!

I was Practically ready to just jump up all wrapped up and take the damn blanket with me.

"Nothing Odd About A Human Barking Out Of The Car Window"

It's Saturday morning. I Just woke up.

I go outside. The first thing I hear is some kind of barking coming up the road. I look over. Oh..it's just a guy sticking his head out the passenger side window barking! Ok nothing odd about that. So I ignore it looking back at my phone. 

Seriously doesn't phase me or surprise me at all. I carry on with what I'm doing.

You really do get used to this weird stuff when others would be thinking what the hell!?

I Just saw my neighbor. She was coming back from walking her dog. I said you see that guy barking? She said yeah. Ricco her dog barked back at him. She says did he have M.R? I guess that may mean mentally retarded. I said I don't know? I just thought that's another Lewiston weirdo lol.

Then a guy I see all the time walking past where I live who is quiet keeps to himself usually. says to himself out loud "go straight or not?" Then turns right. He usually always goes straight. Guess he decided to be different today and take a different route home. Good for him. Lol.

Strange day already. Kind of quiet out today other than the few odd things I've seen.

Love waking up and seeing weird things. It's great. 

"The Weird Side Of The City"

I live in Lewiston, Maine. I've been here a year. It's an odd city with many kinds of people. You never know what to expect.

There's a lot of things to do and see with nice places to eat, parks, and some shops to go to.

At times you will get to see a different side of the city if you happen to be in a certain part of the city. Sometimes it feels like you are in the twilight zone. The craziness that happens along with crazy people shananigains. One would think where am I? What did I just see?

I sit on my porch and just observe all that goes on around me thinking to myself I wish I had videoed this because no one will believe me when I tell them what just happened. Only the people who live here in the city would understand. Even then you still have them sometimes looking at you like you have three heads looking all surprised about what you said. I tell you the things I've seen around here amazes me.

I could sit outside all day and watch the people. You never know what you will see. Who needs TV when you can go on the porch and watch live craziness for free.

"The Grasshopper That Won't Go Away"

This grasshopper has been on the porch all day. It bounced off my leg earlier then later my arm. It hides and is out here again. Tried to catch him to put him back in the tall grass we have since the landlord hasn't weed wacked it in about a month. Looks like this place is abandoned. Nope I can't keep him in my hands so he's been bugging me lol all day. He's got to go back in the grass!  He's been here so long I named him Hoppy lmao. Well hoppy needs to take a flying leap off the damn porch soon!

"A Dog Who Made A Homeless Mans Day'

My neighbor told me she went for a walk with her dog Ricco around the block. She usually stays by the house or goes to the park but stays close to this side of the street where our place is.

She decided to go further towards the post office and other places. Ricco her dog who usually barks at everyone not because he wants to attack but sometimes barks cause the person is to close them or just because. This time Ricco didn't bark and walked over to this homeless man with my neighbor holding his leash. Usually she will tell Ricco come on let's go but went with Ricco over to the homeless man. She usually doesn't do that because she doesn't know them. Like myself who has anxiety around people don't usually do that either. She was glad she let Ricco go see him. The man was so happy just to see and pet Ricco. Ricco was giving the man kisses and all the attention he could.

My neighbor said the man was so happy. She said Ricco made the man's whole day. His face changed when Ricco came over. My neighbor chatted for a few with him also.

She said it was nice how her dog made someone's day.

I love stories like that. I wish I heard more stories like that and wish I could inspire people to just take a minute or so to just say hi or smile.

It could really brighten someone's day up.
