So Big

A very large centipede just interrupted my peaceful, pre-bedtime blog-reading interlude.

How large was it?  It was so large that I heard it drop from the ceiling to the floor behind me.

That shouldn't be possible, right?

But I heard it.

Do I dare to search for a centipede image to accompany this post?

I think not.

In fact, I think I'll just go to bed.  It's hard to type, perched precariously atop this desk chair as I am.  Good night, y'all.

  1. Nightie Night! Sleep tight! At least it wasn't a giant bed bug, right?

  3. I was lying in bed one night reading and out of the corner of my eye saw something DESCENDING from my ceiling. I looked up in time to see a spider riding his string of drool, or whatever it is, down to where my bed was. I jumped up so fast and beat the crap out of my bed covers and never found it.

    Every night has been an adventure in sleeping.

  9. Bugs in general do not bother me. But I make an exception for centipedes and slugs. Those make me want to freak out. But slugs are so slow it kind of takes the terror out of it. Unless I accidentally touch one while I am weeding or something. Then I lose it. Because it's like touching a living booger.

    But centipedes are kind of like aliens. Something with that many legs simply shouldn't exist. Except in nightmares.
