Midnight Meddlings

Oh was I glad to see Otis flying in through the window tonight! I stayed up late, doing all kinds of fun mischief and enjoying the secrets of the night like I haven't in a long time! As in, that kind of night joy you can only enjoy on your own; making plans to conquer the world and become a better person and make friends with everyone on the planet. That secret tingle that means ANYTHING is possible and anything can happen until morning hits you like a cloud of impossibility. It's only fun when no one else knows what you're up to.

Anyway, I was doing all kinds of fun mischief, and in flies Otis through the window, and I haven't seen him in ages. I'd been hoping he would join me and the King when we went up to Scotland, but he was still on his way back from trying to rescue Coco. Like he thinks he's a hero. Though I heard of his bravery and was quite impressed with his ruthlessness; he would have risked his life for a silly monkey.

When he flew through the window tonight, I was so happy to see him - as in, happy like I haven't been in long time! He began telling me of the 'adventures' he had on his way back from his great Coco-rescuing-mission, but his little eyes kept closing he was that tired. So I let him burble out his last nonsense sentence as he fell asleep, before I rushed to the laptop to tell the world; my Otis is back!!! Tomorrow we're gonna conquer the world and have a whale of a time.

Maybe not a whale. Bit hard to swallow.
