Adventures with the alarm clock!

indiana_jThis pretty much all started yesterday morning; around 9 a.m., we had a power blip and I woke up because the house alarm went nuts. I ran to fix it, came back, put the clock on the appropriate hour and fell back asleep for another hour or so. Fast forward throughout the day and now I go to bed and I turn on the alarm for the morning. It's about, hmm, 10:45 or so and I'm asleep pretty quickly.
Until the alarm goes off. At 12:00 a.m. because I apparently hadn't bothered to update the alarm on the clock after the power went off, just the time. I just about fell out of bed as I frantically tried to turn the stupid thing off and then I spend the next ten minutes holding the clock an inch from my face as I set it for 5:10 a.m. (Don't judge me, I couldn't find my glasses and I'm blind as a bat without them. :P Marion deciding it must be play time [with my face] didn't help, either.)
And I don't know how it escaped my notice (oh wait, I do know! 12:00 + Marion + no glasses = I'm lucky I didn't set it to explode!) but I woke up at 5:11 and realized that while I had set the time correctly, I hadn't actually pressed the button to make the alarm turn on. Thankfully, I woke up by myself but that could have been a disaster ...

Anyway, I'm feeling better and I have a peach muffin from Wegmans, so, all is good.
