When I got home from work today, I saw a medium-sized brown spider... barely visible on my floor because he was the same coloring. Which is ultimately my way of saying that I barely avoided stepping on a spider when I got home because I didn't notice him until the last second.
Then I did what I always do... run and get a small paper cup and a piece of stiff paper so I can scoop him up and take him outside. It's just a small kindness towards a Tony life that feels better than squishing the poor thing who happened to end up in the wrong place.
After dumping him in the shade outside my front door, the little guy started SPRINTING towards my front door. He was perfectly happy indoors, and decided that's where he was going to be.
After yelping while jumping back and saying "GAH! YOU DON'T WANT TO GO BACK IN THERE... MY CATS WILL EAT YOU!" I jumped inside and closed the door in time to keep him on the other side of it.
Then went to a window so I could look at him glaring at the front door.
I should not be surprised at all if he's back inside tomorrow.

I take spiders away from the house so they don’t do that. Big ones get taken to the reserve across the street!!
“Secret Spider” is going to be my new t-shirt slogan. Thanks, I’m totally going to pretend I came up with that myself.
