So I'm severely arachnophobic. We're talking sheer panic at the sight of anything with eight legs. Irrational, yes very, but what can you do?

So we get to the lakehouse at Lake Chautaqua, and it's cute. Very cute. Nice view, lakefront, yada yada.

Except for the spiders. Everywhere the spiders. The people who own the lakehouse apparently don't clean, and they don't hire a cleaning service, so there were cobwebs and dead/living insects/spiders ALL OVER THE FUCKING WALLS.

= Sarah's worst nightmare. I felt like I was on fucking Fear Factor (which I kind of hate.)

So we vaccuumed and swept and cleaned, and still encountered the occasional arachnid, and I'm so damn glad to be home that I could weep.

Bleh.
