False alarm
www.thisnext.com
Several things race through your mind when you see the clock and think you have overslept.
Did I not set the alarm last night? Did it simply not work? Did we have a power outtage? Is the radio station that’s supposed to come on off the air for some reason? Is that really the time?
Then comes the checklist. You know, a quick rundown of what you have to accomplish at work today.
This is bad. I needed to get a good start.
But maybe if I zoom through my getting-ready routines I can catch up. And perhaps the extra sleep will bolster me today.
Still, I’m late. Really late.
Wait. I don’t understand. Didn’t I finish that one thing at work yesterday?
Then it hits you.
It’s Saturday.
Never mind.
Let heaven and nature sing.
