DAY 566
I’m not what you’d call an “outdoorsy type.”
So, coming up to Alexandria, MN for a week, amidst a semi-rustic setting, wasn’t exactly feeding my need for getting away from it all.
I happen to like “it all.” And being in the middle of “it” is fine & dandy by me.
And yet, just as we’re about to leave this place, I’ve started to get used to our little surroundings. This little plot of theater land has kind of grown on me.
My cozy little room,
the occasional dip in the lake across the street,
the odd tourist traps
& even the local cuisine.
It all adds up to a week of R & R that I sorely needed. But the reality is that we’re in the middle of some pretty dense woods.
And I regret that I didn’t find THIS little guy until today.
I shouldn’t say “little.”
It’s probably the biggest fucking spider I’ve seen in my life. And there he was, chilling out in my computer bag.
What I hate the most about finding him?
A) Thinking about how long he’s been in my room
B) Wondering how many more there are that I HAVEN’T seen
C) The fact that it’s my last night here & I may not sleep a wink
Well, regardless …
Ha-HA! He ain’t pretty no more.
