My Spidey Sense is Tingling
I got a spider bite on my neck. This really freaks me out. It happened when I was asleep, which means that there are spiders (or at least one spider) in my bed. Where did it go? Did it crawl across my face? Into my mouth? Nose? Ear? Is it still in my ear? What kind of spider was it? A mean one who bit me out of spite? Or a benign explorer who got trapped beneath my chin and bit in self-defense? Did it have a best friend named Wilbur? Is it still on me right now? Will Gentleman Caller wake up to find me perched on the ceiling, sleeping in my freshly spun web? Will my new spider-like abilities freak him out, or will he be cool with it?
Dinner tonight: grilled steak; spelt, pesto and tomato salad; whatever poor creature gets trapped in my web

I was bit by a spider once. No insects in Colorado, except, it appears, one. A spider in my old loft that bit me. Ouch. And took forever to heal.

Yeah, this spider bite is lingering longer than I'd like. It has faded from an angry red welt to a light pink mark, and looks suspiciously like a hickey.

Just you wait. It will turn into a small volcano of fluid soon.
I had Olympos Mons on the back of my leg. It was gross.
