My day began with four-legged creatures, two legged creatures, and who knows how many other legs. It all started when I came into the kitchen area and saw something dark streak across my pantry floor. I thought it was a rat. The evidence behind the fridge and freezer indicated something much bigger than a mouse. EW! It still could be a rat, for all I know, but after Jacob helped me move the fridge and freezer, we found a big gecko hiding under the fridge. Jake tried to get it…and missed, all except the tail.

Of course, it is a common occurrence in this country for there to be a major difference between what is announced and what actually happens, but we certainly must prepare as if it will occur.
