Mellow Day

Well, not much to say about today. I didn’t have to teach any classes. I still was awake by 8:30. Ha ha. I got ready because I had an errand to run, but the person who was going to help me is sick today. You know, it’s a bit annoying how I have to take someone with me everywhere. To the bank, to the post office. I can handle the store because they have registers that tell me the amount to pay. But I still haven’t figured out what everything on the shelves is since the writing is in Chinese.

I do have an interesting story. Seems like I always have something! Yet I don’t go looking for adventures. Oh wait, it’s part of the deal since I came to Taiwan. So last night I was watching a movie in my bedroom. I looked down at the wood floor and a gecko ran out and stopped. I’m honestly not sure if I really saw it. I’m pretty certain I was awake. I didn’t miss any of the movie. . . So I didn’t know what to do. An uninvited houseguest! And I didn’t want to pick him up because I would have to go all the way downstairs in order to put him back outside. (Not like just opening the front door at home.) So I just let him walk away. But I have a new problem: what if he’s still in my room? Didn’t think of that until after I let him go. Sure hope I don’t have problems because of his escape (okay, it was more of a release).

Since today was a mellow day and yesterday was relaxed to, I’ve watched 2 movies and finished 1 book and started another. I’m thinking I’m really going to run out of things to keep me occupied. But I bet when school starts I’ll be really busy. I should probably start preparing. But I don’t really know what to do!

Well, I’ll leave it at that for now. I’ll have to find something exciting for tomorrow. Oh, it’s been raining nearly all day. Amazing there can be so much water!

The gecko - how big? We have a little one that hangs around our front door. He doesn't bother me as much as other things! Grandma

I think it was Wendy that said they LOVED having geckos in their dorm room at BYU-Hawaii. She said that they eat all the nasty little bugs. So maybe he's a good house guest to have...? (Although it would still creep me out. Like what if he crawled on me while I was sleeping?)
