I feel like the Grinch and no not because I am crabby, I feel
like the Grinch because of the NOISE, NOISE, NOISE. I fell asleep last night like always, off
sawing z’s then it happened the unpredictable beep from the smoke detectors, the
beep to tell you that you need a new battery, the beep that can’t be timed, so
if you try to ignore it, you can’t.
Ignoring it can not be done, beep, trust me I have tried and last night I gave it
a good effort. We have three smoke
detectors relatively close in proximity because of where the rooms fall and the
top of the stairs hallway, so imagine a half asleep groggy Bob, beep, trying to
diagnose the problem while in bed, with no hope, pop on the glasses and proceed
to stand under the one in the bedroom, beep, ok not that one, flip on the
daughters light oops, woke her up, beep, not that one either, it has to be the
hallway detector beep again while under it.
Off to find a chair or something to stand on in the middle of the night
without having to downstairs, flip on a few other lights, wake up the rest of
the family get a chair take out the battery and ahh quiet, back to sleep for
Bob. I wonder if the rest of the family
got back to bed?
