i got about two hours of sleep last night. but not really. the little sleep i got was punctuated by weird dreams that freaked me out. i was awakened by the russian lady who cleans my room once a week. she was like, “get up and get out.” but she communicated this via smiles because she is a nice russian lady who can’t speak english.

i don’t like the fact that a stranger can come into my room and wake me up.

so while she was cleaning up after me i walked around the neighborhood in the almost-rain looking for blushing apple snapple. i couldn’t find it anywhere and the more i looked the more i wanted it. i so want it. now i am home, snapple-less. if i just had blushing apple snapple, everything would be all right.

last night there was a spider in my shower. a big one. i haven’t seen a spider that big in years. i was washing my hair so i couldn’t escape. we had a stand-off and then it disappeared into the folds of my shower curtain. it was unsettling. but this morning i discovered that seeing a spider (except for a tarantula) is an omen of good luck. the bigger the spider the better. so now i don’t feel so bad about seeing the spider, except it’s still in this room. i’m sure of it. but i don’t know where it is.

   I would have jumped out of the shower with suds on my head. While I try to put spiders outside, I don’t recall any bad luck upon smashing a big one last year.

   Honestly, it was soooo cold last night that nothing short of a cobra would have gotten me out of that steamy shower one moment sooner than absolutely necessary!

   I don’t know what I would have done. I think in the case of a spider, I would have tried to hurry as much as possible.

   If it was a scorpion, I’d probably break my hip trying to jump out of the shower faster than humanly possible.

   Scorpions = mortal enemy

   A scorpion? Yikes! That would have sent me flying too!
