To never sleep again after this??

I woke up earlier but was just drifting back off to sleep when I felt something touching my face. Whacked it, convinced myself it was a moth fluttering nearby and tried to get back to sleep. Picked up my phone to check something and in the light of the screen saw an absolutely giant spider running across my pillow just by my nose. Freaked out, turned the light on and tried to squash it but it disappeared and I have no idea where it went. How do I sleep again after this?? What if there's more waiting to pounce as soon as I relax??? Argggh. I keep imagining I can feel creepy crawlies everywhere.

The same happened to me probably 20 years ago. I screamed the place down and made DH rip apart the bed and search. Nothing found. But I saw it scurry down between the end of the bed and the wall.

I have never fully recovered. Silly I know but the thing was a huge spider.

My sympathies.

This is my worst nightmare OP! I'm just posting to send you a virtual hug because I know I would be a blubbering wreck if I were you! x

When they scurry across your face they rub their willies over you. They enjoy it. He'll be back...with his friends 🕷 🕷 🕷

Spiders are our friends, and I'm totally serious. The poor thing doesn't want to be near your face any more than you want it near your face. It's harmless, so stop worrying.
Friends don't wake you up and sit on your pillow.

OP, LTB. Flowers 🔥
