A big spider just jumped off the ceiling and landed on my keyboard.

I think she ran off when she realized my fingers were not edible and possibly dangerous.

Or it could have been a random thing; a misstep. Ooops.

Shrug. But I am more awake now.

(I always leave the non-poisonous spiders alone. They eat the nuisance creepy crawlies and flying insects.)

cool (IMO) as long as they're relatively small and don't have fur on them.

But really, you haven't lived till you've had a cockroach leap off a hanging light fixture and land in your dinner plate. I don't know where he was aiming for, but he landed on my pile of green beans.
