in the throes of monday woes.

this morning started off early, at about 4:55 (in the a.m.) when my husband awoke to use the restroom. i am a light sleeper and thus always wake up when he does, and found that i also had to use the facilities before drifting back into two and a half hours of much needed slumber.

after returning to the softness of my bed, i was dismayed to find that sleep did not immediately return, for there were quiet voices penetrating my consciousness. at first, i thought it might be a conversion held outside that was permeating our blessed bedroom, but as it got louder, i was disheartened to discover that this was not some whispered conversation held outside. no... it was something much worse...

a clock radio.

whomever decided it was a good idea to have the radio serve as his/her alarm should have, at the very least, set said alarm at a decent decibel level. for this radio continued to play (and get progressively louder) until approximately 6:15 a.m. our walls are thick, but not that thick.

my slumber, irrecoverably disrupted, returned for about a half an hour (a very restless half an hour), and then it was time to rise and face a monday morning crisis at work. (i decided i shouldn't look at my work email on my phone anymore... well at least in the early morning.)

needless to say, for the majority of the morning i felt rather... disgruntled.

(at least this db didn't wake up to glenn beck.
then it would have been on like donkey kong.
and you can quote me on that.)

p to the s... the only thing that saved my morning is the fact that i am wearing these lovelies. which were an anniversary present from my honey. it's amazing how a great stiletto can save the day. seriously. i might have lost it otherwise.
