Me-usings and Me-emories

31 Jul 2023 - It is a good day that begins with sunshine.  If I haven't pulled an all-nighter, I will sit with Mr. Sol until the shorter peep stirs.  Although my silhouette might suggest that I've dozed off in the golden warmth, I am actually looking out the portal at a cheep-meep scurrying past.  Interlopers favor the quiet times of the day, when eyes aren't trained on their mischief.  But it's my job (and I'm very secure in it) to be the all-seeing sentry, and to break up suspicious gatherings before trouble brews.  So don't begrudge my occasional nap... it is needed.
