The Comment Awards Are Hiding In A Tree With A Supersoaker

May 8, 2020

So, it’s come to this: 58 days into my shelter-in-place, and there is an itsy-bitsy spider (really and truly) crawling over the other pillow in my bed, and I’m letting her stay. To have some company.

Edit: She left her pillow and came over to me, so I took her outside, because she wasn’t observing social distancing. I’m also pretty sure she didn’t have a mask.

HOW ARE YOU DOING, FRIENDS?
