It’s been a while since I’ve written about Large Bugs. Rest assured, this is not because there are fewer Bugs, or that the Bugs stopped being Large, but because I got used to them.
I have entered a new stage of coexistence with the spiders.
There are (at least) two Really Big Spiders that live in the house. They mostly hang out on the main floor and only come out when it’s dark. I see Them most nights when I go down to fill up my water cup before bed. At first this was very alarming, but I’ve realized that the Big Spiders don’t really move, so you can just walk past Them. They don’t seem to have webs. Maybe They are too big to have a web. Maybe They do have webs but they don’t sit in them at night. If it was a different animal, I’d look up the facts so as to be better informed about the world around me, but in this case, I don’t really feel like it. I accept that the Big Spiders live downstairs and sometimes we hang out together while I eat a late night snack, but I don’t want to think about Them any more than I have to.
Aside: In Spanish, a Big Spider is an Araña Grande, which sounds a lot like Ariana Grande, which makes me laugh every time I think about it.
Despite increased Big-Spider tolerance, the line on cockroaches, has not changed. I saw a cockroach the other day and immediately hit him with the poison gas, causing him to flee. For the most part, I think the repellent has been an effective deterrent. There used to be one every four days or so, now it’s less than one every two weeks. I think what really bothers me is how fast the cockroaches are. The Big Spiders are in more or less the same spot every night and almost never move. But cockroaches crawl, and fly all over, and even when they aren’t moving they still wave their antennae back and forth incessantly. They’re never completely still; always contemplating their next move. I cannot coexist with this.
