Today was an interesting day. We had so much to do to get ready for the FHE we were hosting with the senior couples on Monday. We (I) had decided we needed to have a Halloween Party with costumes and all. I did not want to make work for the seniors so I decided I would put together last minute costumes. I found an idea on the internet and ran with it. So today was the day to get the last of the stuff we needed for the costumes. Scott, of course, was not up for shopping all day, so I let him plan the day. Well, as nice as the plan sounded in the morning it really did not work well. We worked at home in the a.m., and then were to do the shopping/computer work in the afternoon after lunch with the seniors. When we got to the shopping it was 3 p.m. and all the shops in the city were closed. We had no idea Suva shut down at 2 on Saturday. Oops.
At 6 p.m. I left Scott at home and went to the Service Center to do the computer work (more on this later) for the costumes. I was sitting at our desk really concentrating on what I was doing. I do not know why I looked up, but something moved out of the corner of my eye. I was not too concerned as I am at the age where I have floaters in my eyes which make me think things are moving when I look out of the corner of my eye. However, I did turn to look.......and there sitting on my shoulder (that's right shoulder) was a rather big gecko! I squealed. It ran down my arm, jumped onto the desk, ran across the desk, and dropped onto the floor. I thought I was going to have a heart attack.
Now I have to warn the gecko by announcing myself every time I enter out office.
