Help identify a brown spider in California. Thank you.

San Jose, CA

I saw this brown spider on my bath towel and I was really scared so I killed it with a flyswatter. I think it might be a brown recluse spider or a long legged say spiders. I'm really scared of spiders biting me so I spray vinegar all over my house to repel them. I am so scared. I keep seeing spiders in my bathroom every single day and it's so scary because the spiders might bite me while I'm closing my eyes showering and I wouldn't know. Can you please help me identify this spider? I see it very often in my house. Sorry that it is smooshed. I used flash camera so it's a little lighter color than the actual thing. Thank you very much!

Although I cannot identify your specimen from your images, I can at least tell you that it is nothing dangerous. You might try scanning through the images at http://mamba.bio.uci.edu/~pjbryant/biodiv/spiders/ to see if you can find a match.
