We keep a stack of old towels in the bathroom right by the door for her to clean her feet with every day.
Lizard catcher
The other kids don’t react quickly enough. They are still yelling in excitement and wondering how to catch a lizard when Fallie stands up, holding the green anole in her hands. She is fearless, fast and always searching for interesting things.
not having good dreams usually means I am happy
I had two bad dreams recently, and I am used to unusual dreams, but these bothered me. In the first one, I was trying to kill a gigantic scorpion. It was a much brighter red than this one and its body was about a foot in length. Now add the effing tail on. I was supposed to cut it in half for some reason (with some piece of metal, no knives involved) and it was not going well. What disturbed me the most about this one is that we have a pretty strict no-kill policy about critters.
In the second one, I was helping people remove rotting food from a basement. The worst part was having to pick up these huge uncooked turkeys that were slimy, covered in mold and decomposing. Luckily I couldn’t smell them but I imagined it all right. I am guessing that I dreamt this because we watched Dirty Jobs recently. This one was disgusting.
