I hate writing, but love taking photos. I created this blog for friends, family, and others to keep in touch and see how my life is going.

My fight with a white tail (and death?)
Okay so the title is a bit melodramatic. Last night when cooking A big black spider, with a white bit on its tail came out of no where. It was almost the size of my palm. I finally found a broom and tried to herd it out side. It started charging towards me and I panicked, and accidentally swept it quite hard taking it's abdomen off of it's body. I thought that was the end of it. As I was trying to sweep the body remains out the door, the head and legs bit kept moving towards me. Needless to say I am fine, and the remains are somewhere on the deck. But this morning I think it got its revenge, I have a bite below my eye, and sure 8 hours afer waking up it has gone down in size and no longer feels weird, unless I think about it, but that's probably psychosomatic, I think the spider got its revenge. This morning I looked up the spider, and it appears to have been a white tail and although that's a picture of it, and the description is nice, it doesn't give the "and death?" part of my title. For that you have to go here and okay so that page just says "White-tail spiders: venomous and highly dangerous?" So yes I was being a bit melodramatic, but it was scary! I have a ghost of a white tail taking revenge on me killing it. Ooooooo. This is why I prefer the larger animals, I am more likely to hear a bear in my sleep then the spider, and depending on the spider or the bear, I could be killed. I tell ya, this is one dangerous place.
