The things I tweet and things I post are full of the truth. If I’m ever making something up, I will tell you I’m full of shit. I think the truth (especially my life) is funnier and/or stranger than anything you can make up. So this whole brown recluse thing…true true true. And frankly, it’s freaking me the f*ck out. We pulled two more out of the pool this morning. My house is covered in webs (of all different types of spiders). I sweep them off, and they’re back the next day. It’s like Arachnophobia all up in here (minus Jeff Daniels of course). So this morning we’re off to Wally World to pick up some sprayable bug killer and we’re going to hose down the house.  My kids leave their towels, shoes, and clothes everywhere, then they’ll just grab them and throw them on, without checking for the spiders that have curled up in them overnight. I’m worried someone is going to get bit. So it was a “lesser of two evils” situation we had to decide this morning. Risk them getting bit by a recluse or a wolf spider, or risk Autiboy getting the chemicals into his system and worsening his symptoms. The organic stuff just doesn’t work. And he is still being chelated every other weekend. So we’re going to go with nuking the fuckers.
