howler monkey or satan incarnate

its starting to feel like home.

my darling sweet evani thinks that 5 am is a good time to wake up everyday. and if i had somewhere to go, or something to do other than parent cute evani, clean the house, and browse the slowest internet in the world i might agree. but given that i am a housewife and she a jungle princess, why shouldn't we SLEEP IN?? maybe just til 7??

BECAUSE the howler monkeys also think that 5 am is the time to wake up, for that is the time they start howling. EVERY MORNING. is that really what its called, howling? it sounds more like satan has woken and is roaming our jungle streets looking for idle hands to do his work. it was charming the first few days, wow i really am living in costa rica, but now i would much rather SLEEP.

scattered amongst the trees, staking out the days territory, there is no sleeping in for our black fury nomad neighbors, los monos congos. should be the name of a band. satan's band.

sleep, i vaguely remember what that is... eyes shut, snug under a comforter, peacefully dreaming... hmm nope, i haven't seen it lately.

at least i have a roof over my head, i might howl too if i had to sleep in the rain.
