Thankfully after taking enough pain meds, and using vape as required, I was able to get up enough energy to shower, a few hours after getting up.

I have made my daily video, however, it is still uploading. I definitely need to look at my internet speed and see what’s going on..

Anyway after resting some more while continuing to read, I started feeling my pain levels finally starting to decrease.

This was blessing not only because I feel better but also because my kitchen floor desperately needed vacuming. Even if that was the only room, it really needed to be done. Boss is currently shedding so much fur due to the heat.

Now, when I vacuum, it takes a little longer than most because I am very careful to never vacuum anything moving. Usually ants if they’ve come in. Sometimes spiders, but they are usually off the ground in a web, so not really a problem.

Ants on the other hand are on the ground, yet, they are very clever. I love to watch them while vacuming, because I wait until they have all ran back to where they came in from. I love my home, but the actual house is falling apart so there are plenty of places for them to get in. The one thing they definitely don’t like is peppermint oil, so once they have all gone and I’ve vacuumed, I drop peppermint oil all along the gloor skirting boards where they get in.

Today was no different. Except I couldn’t see Sally in her web. Now ‘Sally’ is just what I was calling it, since I have named the spider in the laundry ‘Bob Jr’. I obviously have no clue what kind of spider Bob is and Sally was a Daddy Long Legs. “She” had been in the same web in the corner of my kitchen by the front door for ages.

Yet today I couldn’t see her at all. I even turned the vacuum off, got on my hands and knees, same knees all scuffed up from yesterday and looked intensely for her in the dog fur filled web. I looked all around the web and up and down the wall. I was wearing my glasses, but have only now just realised I didn’t have the light on…

Anyway, I figured Sally had vacated her web for whatever reason, as I could not see her anywhere. So, obviously, there was no reason to leave the web there. I vacuumed it up and was just redoing the floor in front when I see her hobbling along the floor, missing her home and now also a number of her legs 😥 I literally almost cried. I just started apologising over and over again out loud and repeating that I had looked for her over and over again. I even had to ask myself if it was even ok to leave her like this, while retrieving a glass and card to move her outside. Thankfully, just yesterday I had read about how daddy long legs can detach their legs to save their life, so I put her outside and just stood there praying to the Universe that she is ok.

Mind you, all of this is happening during the most muggiest heat, with my clothes are sticking to me, like I’ve gone swimming in them. While outside, I thought I felt something on my back but then figured it was just another stray hair caught in the sweat. Truthfully, I have no idea.

What I do know is, I finished vacuming the kitchen and then vacuumed the lounge and was just about to do the laundry as I only planned on doing the main parts of the house as to not over do it. But before I got the chance, I saw a dead bettle in the middle of the kitchen. That I had just vacuumed. So where did the bettle come from?

I have no idea but for some reason it just ended up freaking me out and stripping off my shorts and singlet to check for “dangerous Australian bugs” is how I think it went through my head at the time. .

So now here I am. Lying on my bed, naked, curtains closed, ceiling fan, lamp and salt lamp on and main light off. I am no longer freaked out, after this length of time and writing this all out, but on a completely different topic, just describing the setting I am in, in my bedroom, has made me realise it’s the perfect ambiance to have a little fun with myself 😉

So on that note I shall stop typing and post this 😄

UPDATE: the bettle obviously isn’t dead since last time I saw it, it was on it’s back.. oh and I didn’t end up taking advantage of the ambiance of my room at the time of writing post. Maybe later lol
