Lizard Invasion

I cannot stand it anymore!!! My house is invaded by lizards!!!!!!! No, don't tell me they are good coz they eat mossies in the house. I don't think that's what they do. They share our food, that's what they do!

Besides having to put up with lizard shit all over the place (on every window ledge, on bathroom walls, in kitchen cabinets, even on my LV bag!!!), I will have lizards welcoming me when I enter the bathroom. Snuggling in my towel or taking shelter inside the toilet roll.

That's not all, there was once I found a lizard soundly sleeping in a KNOTTED carrier full of Breadtalk buns! How it got inside, only Heaven knows. When Chup tried to shoo it away, it jumped out and stuck to his pants before it scurried off and disappeared in mere fraction of a second.

When I opened an overhead cabinet in the kitchen, I seemed to feel something cold dropping on my feet. It was a toddler lizard!!! Their favourite escape is always into one of the kitchen cabinets where there are plenty of crevices to hide. Behind the bowl, beneath the plates, under the salt, beside the floor cleaner... the list is endless.

Now what else...

Oh I recall another encounter. I nagged Chup for eating messily causing a piece of Chinese sausage to drop under the dining table. He said it's not him, it's the lizard cos he too just picked up another piece of Chinese sausage from the floor on the other end of the dining table.

So these lizards are not consuming mossies. They eat our food, drink our water and probably slurp our soup too!! My Auntie and me will spray Baygon on them if the lizard is still there by the time we scramble back with the can of Baygon. "Spray them till they are totally wet and immobile", said my Auntie. Still they escaped very fast. To where? You are right, one of the kitchen cabinets of course! Or into the bathroom or out to the window. They must have in-built GPS system!

I know there is nothing we can do about the "Attack of the Mushroom" but surely there is something that can be done about this Lizard Invasion???

4-hourly BLOCKS

My life now revolves around 4-hourly blocks. The golden hours right now are 4,8,12. I am talking about my expressing of BM time. Throwing in preparation and washing up time, I actually have less than 3 hours in between those stipulated timing.


It will be like, do I have time to go grocery shopping between 4pm tp 8pm? Or is it enough time to go for a facial between 12nn to 4pm? Will I be back from the paediatrician to be in time for 12noon? Can I go to relative's place? Then where am I going to express?

I am sure this will be worsened when I return to work come Monday. I will adjust the golden hours to 3, 7 and 11. What if my boss call for a meeting? What if my customers would like to meet me? What if... What if...

It may sound trivial to many, but to me it somehow stresses me a lot. My sis commented, my life seems to revolve solely around expressing BM.

Well well well... I guess I won't be so stressed if my BM is voluminous.
