I never start threads. I feel traumatized though and I feel like sharing my experience will help me.
Tonight, after running, I decided a nice warm bath would help me unwind. I lathered myself up with soap, used my awesome mint julep face scrub, and then just soaked for a bit. I felt great. After I was nice and mellow I popped up the drain stopper and stepped out.
When I was toweling off something caught my eye in the bath...IT WAS A FREAKING GECKO SWIRLING AROUND THE DRAIN. THAT IS SO NOT COOL. And then all of these questions start popping in my head and I feel like the room is getting smaller. Was it in the bath the whole time? Was it dead? Was it alive? Did it perhaps crawl across my body while I had my eyes closed? WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
You know that relaxed feeling I felt? It went completely down the drain when I saw that stupid little gecko. And yes, that pun was intended.
I'm really not a girly girl at all. I grew up catching frogs and lizards...but that gecko in my tub? *sigh* Not my idea of a good time.
Here's a nice visual aid. Just in case you don't have the same type of geckos running around your house as we do here in Texas.
I'm totally creeped out now. Again, it's one of those things like if I had seen him on the wall I would have probably caught him and thrown him outside. But in my bath? Come on, dude.
