Ugh, got waked up at a quarter to 4 by the building fire alarm going off. The one none of us can shut down—the tenants and the fire dept. had to wait on my landlord to show up with a key to the alarm system. At least we know it does work in the event of an actual fire, I guess.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

At least it was on extra-hour-of-sleep day?

Which brought my grand total up to three. It started going off again about 20 minutes later, at which point I got up for real.

Our wings are not tired.
I love my extra hour day dearly, but would be fine with losing it if it meant no more silly DST.

Toddlers do not understand DST. No extra hour here.

Yeah, Zoe wakes with the sun and doesn't care one bit about the clock. The extra hour is rather theoretical.

Loki doesn't either. We debated it off & on for 2 hrs. And I stayed up late. And now he's asleep on me, the jerk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope you get Monday off to decompress.
I really wish I had taken Monday! I was not thinking, but have too much to do at work anyway.

Cute trick: in the middle of the npr piece on the EMP hoax, power flickered enough to require several clocks to be reset and router rebooted.

I didn't roll straight out of bed and into the shower this am because I was going to go shovel out the garage (quite literally, a lot of leaf debris is there) and it will be gross (rat droppings, at least one mummified mouse) but I'm sitting here and it still isn't happening, so maybe I'll shower, nix the garage cleaning and go get sopes and posole.
