I just beat it this morning... well, by about an hour.

it usually beats me. telling me what to do. when to do it.

I have it set three different ways, but I always have problems getting it to do what I want it to.

Lorie thinks I should move it farther away. I think that would be a good idea too.

it is not like I can see it from where I am, and, as long as I can hear it, it should accomplish what it was meant to do.

except it does not.

I need to get it replaced.

not because of it not working, but because it is broken.

hmm...

if that makes any sense.

... ... ...

my phone works perfectly fine. I can use it to an acceptable degree, enough for me to avoid having to go throught the hassle of getting it replaced.

but I need to get it replaced.

I need to get a real alarm clock.

my last one set my bed on fire.

so I have been l been using my cell phone to wake me up in the morning.

except it does not.

nope. my alarm clock is me ignoring my alarm on my phone, sleeping for another hour and then waking up just enough to check what time it is and then jumping out of bed in a panic because I am already late for work.

this morning was not the case.

I woke up with no alarm at 6:00am.

there was a moment of panic there, because I could see the sun shining into the house and I had thought that my alarms had not gone off because I might have set my ringer volume to nothing...

but it was only 6:00am.

I could have used that opportunity to start the day early, perhaps work out, or read a book, or make breakfast.

but no.

I used it to sleep some more.

because sleep is good.

If I was a person that normally gets enough sleep, I would be inclined to acquiesce to commence my day productively.

but I am not, so I did not.

no, what got me out of bed this morning was the fact that my heater kicked on about two minutes after my third alarm sounded.

I had thought I turned it off, so I jumped out of bed to do so.

then, whilst taking a shower this morning, I was on the verge of the shower being a long hot shower.

but the light in the shower burned out right when I finished rinsing off the soap, which is the last thing I do in the shower before I just stand there for five minutes in a stream of hot water.

so I took a short, hot, and very efficient shower.

so I got to work very on time today (which is early by all of my standards)

tomorrow, I must be at work early (for real early, not my early)...

I have to set my alarm clock earlier...

I hope I awaken at its call...

or better yet...

just beat it.
