Life at Junie's Place- May 10, '06

Life
is
FUNNY!!

Some days more than others...some days you just have to 'Laugh Out Loud' at the absurdity of it all!
THIS DAY- or one little part of my day - was like that!

A few weeks ago, some of you may remember, I was having varmint trouble in my laundry room, with what I thought were mice.
What I caught in my mousetraps, though, was a lizard! I also had a couple of his buddies drown in my washing machine!

Very Yucky work - recovering little dead lizard bodies...

Today, as I was taking a wet load of towels out and putting them into the dryer, I was remembering this happening of a few weeks back. I was actually laughing, remembering the weirdness of the whole thing- from this safe distance; cushioned now by the time that has passed.

I pulled out the very last towel and there underneath it was...yep...another little dead and water bloated lizard! The whole thing seemed staged - as it was only after removing the very last piece of laundry that the lizard was revealed to me!

Once again I had to summon my gumption and recover the dead lizard body from my washer!

But - there IS always a bright side...well, maybe not for the lizard but for me! ☺
What if I had not found him before running him through the dryer too!! A stiff, toasted little body might have been worse-PLUS-more work in re-doing the laundry- both washing and drying!

Lol! You HAVE to look for the bright side of things! (It’s always there!)

Have included a picture for you!
Notice the missing tail? Yikes! Am wondering now if it somehow became detached during the fatal accident he had...It’s probably lodged somewhere in my washing machine...only to surface with my next load of clothes!

Oh, my!

Some pictures from my garden to balance things out! :)

Another Day - Another Lizard!

Another Day in the tropics...another drowned lizard in my washing machine!

I will spare you the sight of this little dead thing-just a tiny baby, it was!

Very sad and I didn't have the heart to take a picture of the pitiful little thing!

Sooo...had to do the load of laundry over...as among the items washed were dish and bath towels!
LOL- Had it been Charlie's work clothes I might have been tempted to just dry them and keep my silence!

(Would I do that?? ;) )

Tomorrow I plan to take drastic measures to rid myself of these little varmints who keep invading my space!
I'll bomb the whole area! Don’ worry- just an insect bomb! :)

Sorry - but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

The mousetraps that I used before should have told them I meant business!!

(It's a jungle out there- in here too!)

Yucky!!

This happened again!
;(


Some of you may remember my troubles of last year with the little lizards that get into my laundry room and ...sometimes... into my washing machine!
Last year on a few occasions I found drowned lizards in my wash. Not a fun thing to have happen-making it necessary to do the wash over! AND - disposing of the little dead body is not something I like doing either!

This is the first dead lizard encounter I have had in over a year...but now it's happened again!

THIS time I didn't find the little body until it had gone through the washer AND the clothes dryer...and after I had unloaded the whole machine...right down to the last few wash cloths!
( There he was , entangled in one of those good smell downy sheets!)

What a yucky sight that was...lol- but I had my wits about me enough to get my camera and record the sad event! (just for you- my blog buddies!)

Last year's story is here .

...and here...

( and there were more!!)

I hope this won't be a regular happening around here again!!
