I wish I had more than two days off. I don't think I would ever get bored at this point. I have the books to read, the video games to play, the manga to read on the computer, the internet to surf, and then the many, many shows and movies and miniseries to watch. My days off may seem pretty boring to an outside observer, but to me they are chock-full of things to do.
I was headed to the bathroom to have a soak in the bath with the book (no bubbles were available unfortunately) when I thought I saw something on the floor in the living room. I tried to convince myself that it was a blade of grass or a long leaf, but I knew no grass blade of leaf of that shape could be found around here. Instead it was an anole.
She was in her brown state initially (they can change from brown to green and back due to temperature, mood, or background). I just stared at her and she stared at me. I tried to take some pictures but we keep the house dim so they didn't come out well. Then I got the tupper ware out and chased her half-way across the house until I cornered her in the bathroom.
I don't know which of the color changing factors it was, but she changed from brown to green in such a way that I doubted I was even seeing it. I researched all the info about anoles after this incident, so I didn't even know they could change colors, thinking that only chameleons could do so.
I got over the shock and finally caught her, took her outside, took the picture above and then freed her next to one of the trees in the backyard.
