You are feeling very, very sleepy…

Well, maybe you aren’t but I am today. It prob­a­bly has some­thing to do with me wak­ing bolt upright at 1:30 this morn­ing think­ing my alarm clock had gone off and it tak­ing me 10–15 min­utes for the fol­low­ing real­iza­tions to dawn on me:

  1. It’s awfully dark out, even for 6AM.
  2. I didn’t turn my alarm clock off or hit the snooze but­ton, but I don’t hear the radio play­ing1.
  3. The clock on the microwave says 1:30 AM.
  4. The clock on my com­puter says 1:35 AM.

*sigh* I sup­pose I should be thank­ful I only lost that 10–15 miunutes of sleep but it sure is mak­ing the day drag along today.

1 I use a clock/radio for my alarm clock and will shoot any­one dumb enough to switch it to that god-awful beep from the radio.

    Actu­ally, my real, alarm clock goes off at 6:00 AM CST (GMT –06:00). Accord­ing to what I could find out online, sun­rise on the day I wrote this post was at 6:22 AM CST (GMT –06:00). I would have been up any­way, not that I can see the sun­rise from our apartment’s entirely west fac­ing win­dows. I would have had to get out of bed, show­ered, out the door and down to the street to see the sun­rise. All in 22 min­utes when half the time I hit the snooze but­ton at least twice? No chance. :p
