Monday Morning Alarm Clock

About a year ago, I got in the habit of not using an alarm clock to wake each day. Even though I have to go to work (yet) nearly every day, I've not been late once due to oversleeping. When day light savings begins, it gets easier and easier to wake in the early morning as I don;t close the drapes and the dawn sun easily wakes me from my rest.

However, now that days have gotten shorter and shorter, I've come to rely on another part of nature to wake me every day.

If I forget to put peanuts out on the balcony outside my bedroom window, I'm awakened but the irrated calls of several Blue Jays who expect to find breakfast nuts each and every day, waiting for them in the earliest of morning.

If I could just figure out how to use them as a snooze alarm!
