6' Tall Rooster

"I will wake you up!"
It's a good thing Linda does not rely on us for her alarm clocks.  The other day when she planned on sleeping in Chimmie got her up at 6:00 a.m.  Most mornings Chip Cat is screeching at the bedroom door by 6:45 for breakfast.  Even I stir a bit and change positions when it starts getting light outside.  Since Linda's first class isn't until 10 a.m., she did not set her alarm and figured she'd get up and moving around 7 a.m. with the animal sounds.  Nope, not a peep from any of us.  She woke up on her own at 8:30 with a massive headache from sleeping so late.  We didn't go to bed until 1:00 a.m though.  Linda lost her phone and could not find it.  Since we don't have a landline for her to call the number, she emailed all the people she knows who stay up late and asked them to keep the phone ringing.  No luck.  She even searched the entire car.  Finally, she was about to go to bed when she noticed her self-defense flashlight next to the nightstand.  Hum... maybe she could have dropped it in the front yard?  Yep, there it was in the dewy grass halfway up our hill.
