So here we are, back in daylight savings time. I got 8 hours of sleep last night, yet I still felt really tired when I woke up this morning. Must be all in my head.

When I went grocery shopping on Friday, I picked up some 9 volt batteries so I could replace the one in my smoke detector. I tested it on Thursday night and it worked, but in honor of the vernal equinox I planned to follow the firemen's advice and change the battery anyway.

So I'm sitting here at the computer typing away, when I hear what sounds like a dripping sound. Hmmm. When I walk towards the bathroom to investigate, I realize it's the smoke detector chirping at me, to tell me I need a new battery. Talk about perfect timing!


Luckily, I am prepared...
