adrimettPain level - Moderate-high
Didn't sleep much, or well, last night. I think the up-and-down weather, being hot then cooler, rainy then sunny, is contributing to my pain levels also being unstable. It was pain that made it difficult to sleep last night, even after I'd taken some of literally every painkiller in the apartment. (Safely, mind you. I pay attention to dosing and can make decent judgments about what I need.)
In a different vein, under the kitchen cupboard there lives a spider. Just a little spider, not one that I thought could do more than catch the occasional fruit fly or gnat that somehow got in. But this morning, there was something caught in its web that I didn't expect.
A larger spider.
The regular cupboard spider was happily slurping away at prey at least 3 times its size, and I have to say, I'm impressed! I try to treat spiders with respect and not kill them because they're generally helpful and not harmful, at least around here. So this spider has been living under the cupboard for a week now, just going about its arachnid day without boring from humans. I can't fault it for not being patient or enterprising. I feel like I could learn a lot from that. Be patient, keep doing your thing, and eventually your prey will fall to your might!
