So most people know that since I was a little girl I have been deathly afraid of spiders. I blame it on my brother throwing one of his "pet" spiders at me when I was younger. I have been traumatized ever since. Well we have a huge mango tree that hangs over our balcony. Unfortunately, along with the tree, comes tree spiders. Mainly they're just little guys that I don't mind killing with a fly swatter. On this particular evening however, little was far from what we saw.
Firstly we found one that was bigger than my hand in the hallway from the living room to our bedroom. Because my room mate is as afraid as I am of spiders, we threw orange peel at it until April got the bull's eye and it scurried away from the door. She then courageously braved the hallway and unlocked the door so I too could enter. The only problem was that once she entered our bedroom, she found 2 more spiders almost as big as the other one. Once I braved entering the bedroom, we spent around 1 hour shooing the spiders out of our room so we could sleep. By the time they had left, I was EXHAUSTED from the adrenaline that had run through my body!
We decided that we would be more careful when opening and closing doors to the outside. Fortunately since that evening we have not had any more "night enemies" as our Land lord calls them in his broken English. I told him next time I would call him to deal with them in the middle of the night!
