Here’s my theme song for today:
I saw a little gila monster in my room
Scared me much, Scared me much
So I did a fandango
Okay, it really wasn’t a gila monster. I realized it was just some sort of gecko with growth issues as I leapt rather ungracefully to the other side of the room. I should be used to Arizona creatures that get into my home, but it happens so rarely that it still startles me. I’m just glad I was able to see him before one of the kitties thought they had a new toy. Geckos are very beneficial to the environment so I like to make sure that they make it back outside safe and unharmed.

Oh my gosh! I started giggling reading your post. This exact same thing happened to me last night! I’d been telling my husband for days that I kept seeing a little tiny lizard around the house, but of course he never saw it. Until last night! I was walking into the bathroom and there it was, a gecko! I started hollering for him and he came running. He was able to catch the poor thing and let it go outside. It’d been in the house for almost a week at least.
Gosh, I love Queen! But like you, I’d rather have the little monsters, Gila or otherwise, outside.
