Bestie Friendship Adventures
Bestie Friendship is…
Dealing with spiders
When you both hate them,
But she hates them a little bit more.
So Bestie J recently moved to an adorable cozy home in a lovely quiet neighbourhood. On my first walk through I saw the work that needed doing, but could also see the potential, as she had. And we both thought…this is going to be amazing! It just needs a little TLC!
Now before I start I just have to say, we each would do anything for the other…it’s what girlfriends do right?!
When I was away with my Dude during his cancer treatment, Bestie J came over and scooped cat litter for me!
So when I checked my phone the other day and realized I hadn’t scrolled down far enough in her message, where she had asked if I would come over and help her, I almost threw up I was so upset! I hadn’t seen her message. There she was for a day and a half wondering why I hadn’t replied.
I told her one of two things would have happened for me to not reply…one, I didn’t see it. Or two, I was dead on the floor! And quite honestly I would rather have been dead on the floor, than have her think I was ignoring her text!
So that straightened out, let’s get some cleaning done for her.
We started in the room where the t.v. would go. A beautiful (after the TLC takes place) bright sun room, lots of windows, her plants will be so happy! And a walk out patio door to a good sized deck.
We started to open the door, but something wiggled in the top corner between the door and the screen and we jumped back.
It was a spider…a big one! In a big assed web the size of a dinner plate. You could almost hear him laughing…”Thou shall not pass!”
After we finished doing our shivery, jiggly, omg it’s a spider moves, we decided we had enough to do without the nightmare inducing chore of spider removal for the day.
Day Two of Cleaning.
After discussing the spider, I told Bestie J I would “deal” with him.
Get me an outside broom and a can of bug spray.
(Well after Bestie J checked the upcoming weather report on her phone and since rain was coming anyway, she gave me the go ahead to “deal” with the spider. Since apparently “dealing” with a spider brings rain? Who knew?! Hehehe)
Ok, so she has no bug spray…
“What other spray do you have? I just need to shock him so he holds still long enough for me to broom him good!” And all the while I’m telling her my plan, we are both doing the shivery, jiggly omg it’s a spider moves.
“Well I have bathroom cleaner and Lysol”
“Lysol it is! Ok I’m going outside to get him”
Around the house I go to the deck, up the steps…and it’s worse than I thought.
There are “guard spiders” on either side of the king in the middle!
The big bubble butt kind of spiders, they had butts the size of nickels! Jeeze Lousie!!
So just get it done, I’m thinking in my head, one at a time. Of course with the shivery, jiggly omg it’s a spider moves after I “deal” with each one.
And Bestie J was doing the moves inside as well.
The two guard spiders went down quickly, a lot of good they were! Spray, drop the can and stick them with the broom, then beat the broom on the deck a good ten times just to be sure they are no more.
But the king in the middle, took the spray, and ducked into a hidey hole. Damn it!
So another shot of Lysol, take that! And I’ve had enough spider removal for the day.
I got a text the next day telling me a smaller version of our friend had replaced the king.
I said, “It’s ok, they are rebuilding their army, Lysol them again!”
Next time I’m over I’ll bring my spider spray.
So with Bestie friendships you never know what you may be doing for the other one. That’s just the point, you are there for them when they need you.
A walk together, a dinner out together, or spider removal together…it’s what you do!
Making memories of all kinds…together!
Hugs to you Bestie J!
