So very tired
So the power went out at around 3:30 last night. This means that the clock and alarms reset and didn't go off this morning. I know it happened at 330, because when the power went down, my UBS decided to alert me that it was no longer receiving power. I love my UBS because it allows my desktop to continue on through these short interuptions. I hate it because it wakes me up in the middle of the night. I'm sure if that if i had some very important unsaved data on my desktop, I'd have been much more appreciative of its efforts. I'd also have been an idiot for leaving important data unsaved overnight, but I would have been an appreciative idiot.
And, of course, power outages are infrequent enough that I couldn't figure out what the damn beeping was. I actually thought it might be one of the fire alarms. Once i had identified the source and turned it off, i was up and moving. I did lay back down to go to sleep, but I always have a hard time returning to sleep after getting up. Also, my cat had decided that since i was up i was either going to a) feed her or b) snuggle her. I opted for b. Sadly, she decided she was cold, and so kept insisting that i let her under the covers. She'd then get too hot and want out. Repeat ad nauseum until i finally woke up, running late for work.
At this point, i am trying to get caffeine and sugar to counteract the sleepy/grouchy. So far, success has been fleeting.
