No, let's not
Having an all-around bad day. Sleep was cut short by a mysterious but meaningless noise. Couldn't get back to horizontal, so grimly started the day, knowing that a dentist appointment is coming in the afternoon. Managed a poor dump, which is unusual nowadays; since switching to home-cooked food with lots of fresh veg, I have excellent dumps most mornings.
Okay, that's three strikes so far. Short sleep, short dump, dentist ahead. With the day already spoiled, figured I might as well do some menial chores so they don't spoil a good day. Grabbed the brush and the Vanish, lifted the toilet seat....
Presto! A newly squashed spider on the rim. Not as big as the cartoonish one that Happystar is looking at, but big enough. Apparently got caught between the rim and the seat when I sat down. Imagine if the spider had been just a half inch further in ....... No, let's not imagine.
Later: Well, the dental appointment was the least bad part of this bad day. The hygienist had to do much less scraping than usual. Diet made the difference there as well. Crunchy carrots and tomatoes and chili powder keep the whole system tuned up.
