Zenkitty, I had a smoke alarm do that - at one in the morning the night before I had to leave early on a trip. I ended up just taking the battery out and letting the dratted thing sit for the length of the trip. When I finally replaced the battery, it worked correctly.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

Zen that sounds awful and obnoxious. Dang.
I went to a "chi running" clinic this morning--turned out there was only one other person signed up, so it was practically a private lesson (interestingly the other person was someone who is from here but is a high school teacher in Istanbul! I thought of Fay). It's supposed to make running easier/more efficient, but now there's so many things I'm supposed to be thinking about that it feels harder! Supposedly it will eventually help, though.

I have a book on that. The little bit I've tried to apply, yeah, it seems harder, but it also seems to make sense that if I can stick with it and get used to it I will be better off than of I keep doing what I'm doing. That is more or less on hold until after my triathlon, though, as I am all focused on getting through that swimming leg okay.

I feel the same about stroke training that I have seen. I know it would be helpful to fix my stroke, but it seems like so much work.
zen, sorry about the annoying smoke detector.

I hope you have managed to stop the beeping, Zen.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Gutted the smoke alarm. Will deal later. Busy day outdoors. It's cooler but not cool enough for me! Dinner was crab cakes at a new local diner, and they are not sitting well. Bed early, I think.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ha! Dana, that's exactly what I thought of, too!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
When I was a kid and my sister went off to college I got to move into her room. One year she stashed some things from her apartment there and went off to do summer stuff with friends. And I started to hear a faint beeping at night. I told my parents, and they said they didn't hear anything. I was a difficult 12 year old, and there was more than a wiff of "another unreasonable fuss from the kid" in the air. A couple a weeks later my sister came home and, while rooting around for some stuff, came across the smoke alarm out parents had bought for her previous apartment. Its battery was low and it's warning beep was going.
