Two things you don't want to have happen within 30 minutes of each other

1. Remembering the dream you had that morning where a large, black, furry spider walked over the corner of an adjacent pillow and off the side of the bed.
   
2. Having the cat go into one of her spastic, scrambling, pad-squealing chases across the hardwood floor.

Dude, seriously. Including legs, the thing was like two inches in diameter.
