Oh dang, the dishes in the kitchen.....I had been so busy, they piled up in the sink.....& wouldn't you know it....yesterday morning when I went down into the kitchen....there was a huge spider the size of a silver dollar (legs span) sitting on top of one of the dishes. There was no way to kill it other than with bug spray.....so I sprayed & sprayed it......then left the dishes alone to make sure the spider died before I get anywhere close to those dishes.....so they are still sitting there......now I have to clear out my dish washer where I usually stack my hand washed dishes....because I have to wash all those dishes in the dishwasher to get the bug spray cleaned off & make sure it's safe to eat off of.

Dang spiders & bugs....it's about the only thing I don't like about living in the country.

Spider webs all over the place in the basement & little tiny baby spiders dangling down from the web streams......I found a poor little lizard caught in a spiderweb mess in my basement the other day....it was squirming around trying to get loose. Luckily I found it because I have found several other baby lizards that didn't couldn't get loose....anyway, I took the broom & brushed it away from the web....then picked it up & pulled all the sticky web stuff off it's legs & body.....then set it loose under my front porch hoping it doesn't get back into my basement.......don't even want to talk about the disgusting mess the basement gets even with no one down there messing it up......I have 4 dead mice that I have to get picked up & tossed into my sink hold alongside my fence......rather put them there than throw them into my woods where some animal might get them because of the decon that killed them.......floor in the basement is filled with dead red wasps also. I go down there to do my laundry, but that is right off the stairs & I really don't look around the basement very often.

I am not so sure about using the bug bomb because of my dogs being in the house & not sure how it might effect them....it's bad enough spraying the bug spray around when I'm aiming at a specific bug.....the other problem is that I need to duct tape my AC/Heading ducts back into place as a couple have fallen down & it's not that easy for it being a one person job......with so many things on my to do list.....when something becomes a priority....it gets done.

Still working on cleaning & getting things back into my newly floored room....but I still have to buy the flooring threshholds & get them stained.....that's on today's list after going to DBT & my psychologist as Lowe's is in that town & I usually try to get things done all at the same time when I drive that far to go somewhere.

DANG....I really hate those huge spiders.....but also hate the black widows & the recluse.....luckily I haven't come across any as some of my neighbors have....I'm sure they are hiding....so I am always cautious.

Have to get to the lawn mowing also.....as the grass in front of the house is getting way too long & is growing up around my lawn tractor when I left it the last time I did my mowing about a month ago......the field to the left of the house is a bit overgrown but still manageable while the side & back field & the yard inside the chain link fence is totally OUT OF CONTROL.....would need a bush hog to take care of that....not something that my little lawn tractor could handle.
