Every time I think I'm not arachnophobic one of those evil creatures appears in a spot in my home I can't easily get rid of.

Good news - I think he's dead or at least drowning. Get flushed!

Bad news - I kicked a chair and bashed my shin in my... *strategic repositioning* and it like... hurts. Nothing doctor inducing but I think I earned a bruise.

Freaked the cat completely out... so that's kind of hilarious news? She was laying on the ground when the monster began it's attack. (It moved and I saw it up in the corner)

I yelped my manliest yelp and spinning my chair away was able to make my way into a better position. The spider didn't notice responded and I crept up slowly with a stick and tissue.

PHYSICS SUCKS and provided him a 90degree angle to protect against my onslaught, but then he moved sideways to get around my stick. That was when I *strategically maneuvered* away by backwards dashing while demanding the spider stop with a firm "NOooOOOOOO!" This was when the cat decided she was done and fled upstairs.

An EPIC BATTLE occurred... in which the spider suddenly lost its footing because spiders are stupid. Having the high ground made it way easier to dispatch.

So I win, and the spider sucks.
