Things that go BEEP in the Night

At 6:30 this morning, I was roused from my slumber by a car horn beeping outside my window.

My first thought, of course, was, Oh shoot! I slept all the way through Sunday and it’s now Monday morning and Ms. M is here to pick me up and I’m still in bed. Ach! I’ve never slept through an entire day before, so this was an excessively paranoid thought. However, that level of rationalization was not available in the seconds after my rude awakening.

I grabbed my alarm clock and brought it 6 inches from my not-yet-spectacled eyes so that I could read the day of the week. It was Sunday. Relief. I went back to sleep.

In other news the big buildup to eye dissection was great! But, the butcher didn’t come through with the eyes. So I cried a little, the asked a few other butchers if they could get eyes. We’ll try again for next Friday.

  1. Once, I went to bed, then was awakened for a phone call telling me there was a 2-hour delay for school. I went back to bed thinking, hey, another hour of sleep! But it was still 10 PM the night before…very confusing!
