Bill now often can be found chilling on this rock just outside the back fence in the morning. Such a handsome boy. Cutie sometimes hangs out there too. I've been doing a bunch of work, part of the #RatShitRemodel, up in the nasty attic, so I have been in a white suit with a hat and respirator much of the last couple of days. As an experiment, I walked up to the low wall in the backyard where Cutie hangs out. There's no way she could have recognized me from any other person other than I did say "hi cutie." She didn't immediately run away, so this suggests to me that she's now associating all bipedal hominids with lack of danger and source of food, even if we look like ghosts. #LizardReport

To be honest, I would actually be happy sitting around doing nothing all day but making friends with all the lizards, watching all their little dramas, feeding them, taking pictures of them and sharing them with the people who live in my phone. And I need more than this out of life, why again? (I've been under massive, relentless stress related to the business in California that I have to go back to shortly. The more I compare the simple joy of making friends with lizards to that grueling bureaucratic bullshit, the more dumping the house on the market and never seeing California north of the Richmond Bridge ever again seems like a worthwhile goal. So, yeah, why go back to that when I have a yard full of friendly lizards here?)
