Fears

We are taught to face our fears. For most of us, we don't know what our fears are until we face them.

I tell people my biggest fear is of a car accident. It's true. I am terrified of traffic going too fast, and people driving badly. I am afraid. Also, I am afraid of being a bag lady.

I am scared of spiders in my hair. This is what happened this morning:

I picked up my shampoo, and a green spider dangled off of it, ready to go into my hair, or my eye, or wherever in my shower. I screamed! Ahhhh! and tried to throw it off! But it hung on by its web/thread! Ahhhhh! I screamed again. The cat, Cabby, came running (I must've been really screaming terrified because Cabby is 16 years old and doesn't move much). I finally got its sticky web/thread away and the green spider fell to the bottom of the shower. Ahhhhhhh! I screamed, terrified because it was at my feet! As I tried to drown it, it wouldn't die, and I kept saying to it, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really, really sorry."

I hate killing any creature, any time, ever.

So then I tried to save it. I said to Cabby, "Cabby, can you please help me with this?" and then I touched the green spider and it disappeared! Ahhhhhhh! Where did it go?! OMG OMG where is that spider? Is it going to crawl up my leg? Is its web/string thingy still attached somewhere to something in the shower? OMG!

I screamed my way out of the shower, dried off, put a robe on, and wrote this blog. That green spider is still in my hair, forsure.

Scary!
What are YOU scared of?
