On the list of things I could do without . . .

I discovered a spider living in my powder room this morning.

When I went in there to pee in the half-light before dawn, I became aware of a very large spider lurking just above floor level near my feet.

As I could reach the switch, the light came on.

To my dismay, she is a Black Widow. Now I knew these were living in the garage, but I was unaware that any had moved into the house. Needless to say I am less than pleased. Something will obviously have to be done.

I'm not much of a spider killer myself, but I will if I have to. I have no desire to share my powder room with her. She is going to get more than a powder, she will get dusted, even if I have to do it myself.
