“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think...but the most important thing is, even if we're apart...I'll always be with you.” - From Winnie the PoohToday:I decided today was going to be a good day no matter what. So, I started my day out by waking up to some nice music while I checked email, checked the store, etc. Then I decide to study but then stopped realizing I had a bunch of laundry to do. I thought it best while studying to put in a load. When I went to go into the laundry room a huge (about the size of a half dollar legs and all) thin stripie legged fuzzy spider set up shop in there. I am terrified of spiders! Terrified to the point I start screaming, crying and doing that spider dance. You know the one it’s a combination of the pee-pee dance and “omg I think I got something on me get it off!” Now normally I would be somewhat ok, however, this spider wove a web in the course of the night from one wall to the other and was suspended from it which creped me out even more so. I thought, “ok I can do this…” I went to get the spidie spray from under the kitchen sink when low and behold (and this is the funny part) Husband put it in the laundry room located conveniently on the OTHER side of the webbing/spider. Just my luck. So I went to my arsenal of bug sprays and such. I found the ones that had the best shooting range. (lol) After mentally preparing myself I went and sprayed the spidie. It scoffed at me. That stuff didn’t even phase it. In fact it just casually moved down the web and propelled itself into my hamper. “HA! I caught ya!” I thought. I ran off to get a better spray and when I came back THERE WAS ANOTHER! A war cry came from me that I never ever heard before- ok it was a scream of bloody murder mixed with a deep guttural fear- I believe I was even twitching. I sprayed and sprayed and sprayed. The spider casually swung from the web to the floor and scuttled under my washer. The thing is…I don’t care if spiders are outside. If they set up shop in my garden or under the porch- that’s their home. However, come into mine and if I cant get you out by peaceful means YOUR DEAD! I told my friend Meg that I refuse to go into that laundry room until it has been fully sprayed and bodies are found. For now Husband can wash his undies out in the sink! (lol) That outta motivate him! Evening:Husband came home and went to work hunting down those meanie spidies! He got everything cleaned up and sprayed down so I was able to get some laundry going. Dinner was wonderful and I just got done cleaning that up. I packed up my snacks for the night and breakfast for morning.  This is the first day on my new special diet geared towards my depression. I can tell you already I am feeling better! That “no blues” tea I blended is WONDERFUL! Husband made some phone calls today at work about insurance to see what is covered, whats not etc. He got put on hold so long he had to hang up because he had to do somethings. I totally understand that. I am trying to really change things. Tonight I have to study and tomorrow I have plenty of things to keep me busy. I figured if I eat right, exercise and be productive that will help a lot. I hope everyone is well! ~Bright Blessings~Rea
