Saturday was not a good morning. Not a good morning at all. Remember sweet Lil' Jeni who moved in after the original Jeni moved out? Yeah, well, he's no longer with us. The story is kind of gross so I will spare you all of the details. But the basic run down is this:
My backdoor wouldn't shut completely Saturday morning. Because I am a girl, I just kept trying to slam it harder and harder instead of actually finding out what was stopping it from closing and fixing the problem. In all, I probably slammed the door five times at least. It was at that point that I started to inspect the door to find the problem... ooohhhh... and what I found was half of Jeni's squished body in the door crack. The rest of the story is censored, but it was really upsetting to me.
Later that day I was telling the real Jeni what happened. She was really upset with me and actually said, "You need to stop killing your friends!" (he's not the first gecko I've accidentally killed). I was on the phone with my mom when it happened and she said, "Oh don't worry honey, another one will come along soon". I guess maybe I took the "new roommate" joke too far. But I am sad he died and of course- I didn't do it on purpose.
Lil' Jeni, you'll be missed.

Jaime! That was hilarious. I'm sorry for your loss, but I couldn't stop laughing. I can so imagine that! Actually, this same sort of thing happend when I was a kid. We had a frog (his name was popper) & one day he disappeared. We couldn't find him and frantically searched high & low until we opened up the screen. Oops! there he was. Dead on the tracks. It was a horrible sight to behold as an eleven year old. I understand your pain.
