Jessica didn’t really chop her hand off, but she did scream in such a fashion that I thought she had severely injured herself. Or, maybe Abby damaged a part of her body. Nope, that wasn’t it either. Instead a spider was on the couch. Such emergencies call for heroic action like nothing else. I swept in, found said spider (smaller than a quarter) and with a piece of paper-towel (‘The quicker spider upper’) ended the poor creatures life. However, the couch is now safer for the change that was also inhabiting the elongated seat.
