Traumatized

Okay... the most fucked up thing happened yesterday. Like life-alteringly crazy.

I'm trying to get in shape for the wedding, and it's been a struggle. I've been working hard to eat right and I just started to get into a workout routine. The Boy and I bought a groovy exercise bike over the winter and I've been doing my best to use it, with varying degrees of success.

Anyways... last night, I get myself pumped up to do it and put my sneakers on, which are in the bedroom by the bike. I put my bare foot into it and felt something in the toe. I figured it would get annoying while I was on the bike, so I took the shoe off to get whatever it is out.

Yes, you guess it. A spider. A FUCKING HUGE spider. I am deathly afraid of spiders, irrationally so. I start screaming bloody murder and run into Dave's office, where he is on hold with his credit card company. I demand that he drop everything and dispose of this spider, because it was headed for the bed. He goes into the room and exclaims, "Damn, that's a friggin huge spider." Not exactly the response I was after.

Dave takes my shoe and takes care of my shoe intruder (sorry S). At this point, I'm ready to throw the shoes away. I wore sandals on the exercise bike and made Dave thoroughly inspect the bed and sheets before I got into bed. I swear, if that spider had disappeared before I got back there, I would have gone to a hotel. I'm afraid to wear any closed-toe shoe anymore. This will take some time to recover from. I keep reliving the feel of it moving around in the shoe and it FREAKS ME THE FUCK OUT!!!!!!

Now, I know what people say... You eat x number of them in your sleep, they're harmless... blah, blah, blah. I don't want to hear it! And I even know that there are those of you with clinical bug experience who can legitimately back it up. I just ask that you please, please, please spare me the details. I was this close to sleeping on the couch last night.
