User's notes
Woke to find this on the ceiling above my bed. Trying to move it on it fell onto my pillow and disappeared. Two mornings later, sitting at the computer I turned to look out the window and found the spider on the windowsill right beside me, just like Little Miss Muffet. Caught and released it outside. Needlesstosay, I didn't sleep in my bed the last two nights.
