Yes I know it's been forever since I last wrote. My
fkn hard drive died. Again. And it was 62 days since I had it
replaced so the store warranty was up. They needed to ship it the
manufacturer to get a new one, etc. By some miracle, they were able to
copy my data over to the new one. At first, I thought they hadn't even
replaced it. I was so happy to see all of my data, but then the
errors started. I called the store back, and they said to use the XP
CD to fix it. Except. I now have SP2 installed and my CD
doesn't. FFS Microsoft make your shit backwards compatible! So,
I had to drive back to the store in rush hour traffic, in pre-hurricane
rains to get a CD that would work. That fixed the network issue, but
I'm still seeing various other issues in software (only Microsoft somehow).
Enough about my computer woes. On to more important woes. I'm so
sad this morning. Last night as I was brushing my teeth before bed, I
discovered a baby gecko in the bathroom. There have been a rash of
them lately so it wasn't all that unusual except that it was upstairs this
time. I put down my toothbrush and mucked around a bit trying to catch
him without hurting him. Then I snuck downstairs & outside in
inappropriate attire to let him loose. All is well in the world, and I
can sleep in peace.
Except. When I wake up this morning, there he is looking even more
dehydrated back inside my front door. I easily catch him as he has no
energy and bring him outside. I brought him to a little puddle, but he
doesn't seem to drink (although he's so tiny it's hard to see). I took
a leaf and soaked it in water and draped it over his body, laying him close
to the puddle. I went out to check him a bit later and he was dead.
=(
I never know what to do with those cute little fkrs. I
feel like I'm sending them into shock by catching them, but I know they'll
starve and/or dehydrate. I wonder how the babies always know to find
water in the bathroom.
Oh yeah, there's also a hurricane bearing down on me and a migraine
wreaking havoc with my spirit.
Poor little gecko.
=(
