It crawled out from the sink...

I got up the other morning and walked into my bathroom and saw a spider on the wall. At that moment I was using the facilities and while I was standing and watching the spider on the wall a flurry of movement in the sink caught my eye. A spider crawled out from the drain in the sink and was trying to climb out of the sink. The walls of the bowl are smooth & slick enough that the spider could not climb out and found a spot to rest while sitting in my sink.

I have heard of spiders crawling out of the sink before and this is first time I have seen it in my house (I saw it once before while I was house sitting at a place in Roxbourgh Park. It is on the south side of town where I see deer, foxes, coyotes. I expect to see wildlife & critters out there and larger critters than what I see in the city or suburbs).

While I was smashing the spiders and giving them a proper burial at sea or burial via the toilet, I was only thinking of one thing. I have lost my spider sense. I use to have a type of sixth sense where I could sense when a spider was in the same room as me. I know this sounds silly but it is true. I use to spend hours in my parent's basement which was littered with spiders and I do have intuitive abilities to a degree. I believe that being around them so often and being aware of them lead to a kind of spider radar which I could detect them near me.

How did my crazy spider radar work? Because it sounds crazy and if you are reading this you are laughing or bookmarking my page under crazy & weird...but I will share anyway. When I was in a room and the image of a spider came to me I knew one was in the room with me. The size of the image was relative to the size of the spider. Larger images meant larger spiders and smaller images meant smaller spiders. The image was usually generic and did not look like the actual spider in the room. The image would come to me and once it did I would start to look around the room and I always found the spider. They were usually sitting somewhere and not moving but occasionally they were on the move. I could do this for years and even the first couple years of living in lakewood with my roommates.

I guess I am loosing my abilities and it does not sadden me or bother me. I guess I have been focusing on other things so my mind and intuitive ability are preoccupied with other things. I also do not see as many spiders in my current location, usually just this time of year so I am sure that is part of it.

I feel like a super hero who is loosing his abilities. Only my ability did not really serve much of a purpose and it was not very cool. If I had the ability to predict winners of games or pick winning lotto numbers...that would be much cooler. It would suck to lose that ability.
