I have been planning for ages to clean up my room and remove the spider but since I’ve been depressed and my executive dysfunction has been at work, I didn’t do anything about it.
Guess what happened today - the spider caught a fly and is happily feasting right now. So turns out I haven’t been all alone lately - both the spider and I have been in some kind of hibernation for some time. The spider also doesn’t initiate smalltalk so I think it is fair to assume it is autistic too.
Anyway I’ve posted here lately as I haven’t been well, so I’ll just let you know that I feel a bit more positive about getting shit done and change things for the better. hugs (for anyone who wants one)!
Once I lived in Melbourne and I left a Huntsman on my ceiling for 3 months. He grew from the size of a quarter to the size of a tennis ball. I named him George.
I still live in Melbourne and I once let a Huntsman grow to the size of a side-plate on the outside of my window. Then I watched my chicken eat him. His name was Jonathon, but I called him Jono.
Edit: The chicken’s name is The Void.
Edit 2: Looking them up, he was probably a girl.
