Re: What have you done today that scared you?
HWMO had just taken the pooches for a morning walk in the fields this morning, I walked into the bathroom and came face to face with a HUGE spider standing there seemingly staring straight at me. Now anyone that knows me knows that I am terrified of the blessed things. I slowly walked backwards out of the door, closed it quickly and ran to get the spider catcher.
I braved opening the door again and with the spider catching hatch open, walked slowly towards it and pounced, trapping a and probably also causing a very frightened spider to run around trying to escape. Of course, the next thing I should have done is slide the hatch door closed but I was afraid of A. accidently squashing or it losing a couple of its legs with my blind panic to close it, and B. it might escape and exact it's revenge by jumping at me. Urrgghh! So I just left it there trapped in the spider catcher until HWMO returned, closed it properly, took it outside and put it safely out onto the top of the hedge.
I thought I was brave at the time but really I was scared. My heart was still going ten to the dozen by the time HWMO came back to deal with it.
