My Friend the Dead Spider

There are multiple western style bathrooms on the Farm. Two on the main level which are not technically connected to the house. They are nice but they have an open window so tons of fly's and a friendly gecko that moves around and stares at you while you're in there. I will only use those if I have no other option.
There are then two more located on the top level of the house. These are decently clean and for the most part bug free. I like using on in particular as the only bug in there is a dead spider. Or so I thought.

I had become very familiar with this one bathroom. I would walk in look to the right and there on the wall was my skeleton spider friend who was caked in mold or black cement pieces. I had no desire to find out which it was. As long as the dead spider was my only company I had no issues using this particular bathroom.

One particular day while in the this bathroom I looked over at my dead spider friend (and I had started calling him friend) and his color had slightly changed. Ever so slightly that I didn't think more on it. I finished my business and thought I should take a photo of my friend the spider as we were really becoming good friends him being dead and all meant I could handle him as a friend even though he was in all reality a spider. I second thought my picture idea as who wants to see a spider on a blog, or later in my photos.

It was no sooner than I had this thought, that an innocent fly came into the bathroom and flew right by my head and without any warning at all, off the wall jumped my friend the spider (fully alive) and snatched that fly and flung back to the wall.

I was out of the bathroom door in an instance only to look back and see my so called dead spider friend feasting on his prey. It was awful!!!!!!!!!!!


So let's move forward a few days. I had not since used that bathroom. With that live spider, who was not my friend at all in there, and a jumping spider no less. There was no way under heaven I was going in there again. So here I am really needing to use the bathroom and that's the only one available. I stood outside the door and I waited. And waited. And Waited. I really needed to go but I was not going to go in there.
I must have looked absolutely ridiculous  as I did the dance there waiting to go and not using the bathroom that was clearly empty, because Radip and Namunna walked by and asked me what was going on. I told them about the spider who was not my friend and said that as long as he was in there I could wait for another bathroom to become available.

Radip walked right into that bathroom and got rid of that spider. It was no big deal and out he came and said 'he's gone you can use it now'. Boy did I feel foolish.


So that's that. The bathroom is now spider (dead or alive) free and I no longer need to worry. At least for now.

P.S. there are absolutely no photos of this so called spider friend because he actually isn't my friend anymore.
