I'd Like to Fire the Fire Alarm

madbakerMiss Bea was happily snoozing in the crook of my knee early this morning. I was happily snoozing too. Then the hard-wired, mandatory fire alarm went off around 2 AM. There was no fire. It kept turning itself back on as we frantically flapped a towel in front of it. Finally I got on a stepladder and swept around it, just in case there were any cobwebs with spider farts setting it off. I don't know if it had any effect, but at least it didn't go off a fourth time.
It took me an hour to get back to sleep. Beatrice had bolted underneath the bed in her usual "panic due to loud noises" scram, but when she came out half an hour after we returned to bed she did curl back up next to me for a while.
Add lack of sleep to the general feeling of work inertia today.
