COUNT: 7

7: Just now, in the bathroom.  I was brushing my teeth when I saw a spider descend into the bathtub from the ceiling, suspended by an invisible thread.  I tossed my cup of water at it, landing it in the tub, and turned on the bathtub shower to spray it into the drain.  There was no choice in the matter; it was large and spindly and shudder-inducing.  Spiders and I will get along fine as long as they stay out of my house and I never have to see them.  That's the deal, spiders!  That's the deal.
