QOTD.

I was awakened early this morning by one cat sitting by my face and incessantly tapping on my face. As I reached a level of consciousness I became aware of a annoying beeping that was not my alarm. As we often do when in a state of confusion, I began to consider what in the world within my house could be making that noise without actually making a move to go find the source.

My first thought was that the Carbon Monoxide meter in the hallway was malfunctioning but that couldn't be because I would like to think that something as important as that would make a much louder noise. I decided that the best way to determine the source of the noise and make it stop was to actually get out of bed and go investigate.

It didn't take long to locate the source of the noise as it was coming from across the hall in the kid's room. {He is in the valley this weekend working at his volunteer station and finishing up his ride along time for his EMT certification.} It was his alarm. When he is home and using the alarm it is actually hooked up to his iPod. When he isn't home, isn't using it and his iPod isn't attached it makes quite an annoying beep.

I can't read the buttons because the print is too small so I can't turn it off properly. Yes, I could just start pushing buttons but then I would most likely end up playing the same game again tomorrow morning and I would prefer not to do so. I stumble back to my room, tripping over cats who want to be fed way more than they want me to stop the beeping and get my glasses. Back to the kid's room and find the button that turns the alarm off.

If it goes off again tomorrow I am gonna phone the kid. He deserves it. I was up at 0600 hours on a Saturday. How is this good?

This leads us to today's qotd:

What time did YOU get up this morning and what motivated or forced you to do so?
