These pictures do NOT give justice to how big this spider is. If R is not at my immediate beck and call to extinguish arachnids, this is what I end up doing.
Following them with a headlight along our ceiling. I refuse to lose sight of them until my spider hero comes back home.
And yes, that is our dorm room bed. 3 feet from the ceiling and all the more reason I have to keep track of those suckers. No way is it going to fall onto my face.

P.S. Hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day. R and I (along with his brother and girlfriend) are headed on a camping vacation to the Grand Canyon. Let’s put it this way: you have to use quarters in order to take a shower.
And Mama sure does like her showers. Let’s see how much money I spend on cleanliness alone.
Do you know how many spiders you swallow during the night unbeknownst to you? It's like, 2 per year…so you've swallowed approximately 56 spiders in your lifetime. Yummy.
Just think about how many escape!?Unc
Awesome, the grand canyon! Can't wait to read those posts!
