It’s been a rainy few days here. Like literally monsooning constantly. So instead of two pools days for the holiday weekend. We had zero. ZERO pool days. That should be illegal.
Well one of the two days we still went hang out with our peeps. We had bbq….inside, had some adult beverages and tried to make the best of a crappy day.
We headed home disappointed but still happy for the bonding time. As we walked up to the door holding our unused bathing suits I realized leaving the porch light on was not the best idea.
I knew we would be home after dark so I left it on but I didn't think about little flying annoyances (termites) which were swarming on our porch (GREAT).
Hubs was like ok, I'ma open the door and we run in.
So he starts swinging his arm above his head to clear them a bit before opening the door. I was about a foot or two behind him hands full.
When suddenly large-ish shadow came flying at me a slapped into my shoulder. It was dark enough that I had ZERO idea what it was.
My first thought was "F*******K a bug who shall not be named!" As I started to raise my hand to swat it off of me...it ran up my neck into my hair.
Cue me LITERALLY dropping everything and freaking the f**k out! Screaming "get it off, get it off, get it ooooofff!!!!!!!!!!!!!" in increasingly more high pitched notes.
My panic subsided enough to realize the legs weren't bug like...but soft and sticky. So I paused my freakout.
That's when a small reptile face peaked over my forehead and jumped to the garage door. It was a GECKO!!!! He was easily the length of my hand. Which I know I have small hands but that's still a BIG gecko!
As I stood there disheveled and frazzled hubs says"It's really not that big of a deal".
