Don’t have to read it, I just couldn’t scream this all in to my pillow…


What a horrific day, I just keep thinking “what next” well if the sky starts falling I bet it had something to do with me! Well it starts off last week I tried buying this snake online, Payment clears..Still no snake? He has his money….Still no snake, and no matter how many promises I got with “I will ship her out tomorrow” she never came. So I was pretty mad this morning when Yet again No snake, and like clockwork there laid a PM in my mailbox filled with “sorries” and “I was busy” and just like before at the end was a promise of “today I will ship her”….I trust him about as far as I can throw the guy now. So I think you know what I want to take my mind off things and go to the reptile shop, I need a new bulb for my lizard anyway…So off I go. And Once I got there I saw the Pretties little crested geckos. And I have always wanted a One as a pet there just so cute, But these had been babies. I asked how much and the guy wasn’t sure but he said “I think there like 60-70 each” I kind of bit my lip. Little to high of price for such small babies….so I buy the bulb I needed, And got in the car and there is another reptile place nearby. Now I know this place is a rip off but Hey Let’s see what happens…., I drive in. Look around…Mold was in a few fat tail gecko cages….but then a guy came up to me. He asked if he could help… I asked the guy “do you have any Kind of crested geckos??” he nodded took me to a tank said “here are only one, it’s a male” When he put it in my hands I was Hooked! This lizard was climbing and jumping on me..Oh I love it! And without missing a bet I said “I will take him!” $80 bucks, and 5 for a small bottle of gecko food. Ok so he was a bit much but I loved this l guy. So am driving home now. Thinking on what to name him. As I keep looking over to see him jumping around. Just about home now…I look over….and as the light turned green I gasped… I pulled over. Hitting the brakes. I reached over as fast as I could and flew the lid off….There my little buddy sat, Frozen stiff, with his mouth wide open….. I raced home holding back tears till I couldn’t take it anymore…I dialed there number as fast as I could. I told him what happen he said “Well did you put him in the sun?” “no..no..i had him on the carpet, the windows where down and the ac was on…it was cool in the car”…..”hmm…well put some water in the cup Place him in it..Maybe he will snap out of it?..he might just be in shock….come back in a few hours if he doesn’t….Thanks for calling bye”..before I could shout “wait..” CLICK…. I tried the water…I knew he was gone. Still sat there like a dumb ass trying to somehow bring him back to life… I grabbed my keys and my stuff as my father came in…Out of what he could understand as I was crying, “gecko died, when I was coming home..” as I held the cup up……showing him…..He drove me down there…as I got out of the car and in to the store…I put the cup on the desk..with a sad face trying not to cry. All at once 4 guys rushed from behind me Opening and poking the gecko….guy said “this is the one..” I nodded… some other guy looked right at me and said this straight to my face…ready for this… “Well obviously you walked in to a store and forgot about it in the car”…..He could have punched me in the face and that would have felt better then hearing him tell me that. I busted in to tears… because all I heard was “Well obviously you don’t care about this gecko at all and killed him..” As the guy rubbed my back said “its ok we will fix it” he then Doesn’t refund my money, Doesn’t offer me a new one as a refund…He tells me “I will give you a new one as half price for $40…” as am crying he fills out a paper then I fill it out below it, However he will call me because he doesn’t have any left.. This other young kid hands me the yellow paper goes “Hey…Don’t worry about it. I been here a long time and done Way worst then that” as he points to my dead gecko I was just a moment ago playing with… I walked out of the store sobbing…I just looked out the window crying, I couldn’t have killed him…It was only a 15 minute drive…He was moving around a bit scared, but he wasn’t in the sun, The ac was on, the window had been down…I had this huge goal of having my own pair of crested geckos because of how neat they are. ..and there I was told to my face, I didn’t care about them….when I got home..There is a new PM in my mailbox….there is snake shipper yet again “going to try to get her out today here is the shipping number!”…Oh what joy…now I get to wait till morning to be disappointed again too…. I felt like screaming in to my pillow. I felt bad for that gecko..His only little life..And am being blamed I ruined it..Killing him. I know its just a gecko…but I couldn’t tell you what a joy it was watching him jump around on me, and walking and watching his big toes..Then thinking of the endless names to give him in the car…All with a huge smile on my face as I drove home looking back at him…then not even a few blocks, at the last light, Looking over…Overwhelmed by heartbreak…… Now I get dragged around town with my dad to go with him…..no time to myself.…I yet again have dinner with his side of the family tonight…well I just got back, how fun wasn’t it. Really I tried, but I couldn’t take the “oh you look nice” then right in the next room they are bad mouthing you to everyone else…it happens to everyone…but still….Come on..we are here to have dinner together…Don’t make me come then make fun of me!.... as I stood there holding my head, since it hurt. I tried having some soda and Spit it out… my father turned around going “what’s wrong!” I grabbed the can and scanned it for what I was looking for. “2007” yup the soda was from 07! So if I drop dead tonight you know why….Or it could have been from dinner..who knows, However my aunt knows am in a bad mood because she caught me whispering “this is the cherry on top of my crappy cake” To my sister…why must everyone be so noise…When it was time to go I dragged my feet to the car, Flipping open my phone, 4 new message which just made me want to get run over by the car rather then get in it to go home…the car ride…I just closed my eyes.. However as much as the driver was laughing…I could tell someone had to much, but i was thinking about what I should do…Now am here. Sitting in my room on this computer as my cat jumps around me looking for some food I might have brought home from the party…Over all today wasn’t my day. Tomorrow I hope I get my snake. Well how about I just hope I have a better day. Sorry for so much just had to say something…
