Beeping Alarm

Beeping Alarm,

Since Saturday night, there has been a fire alarm beeping because of low battery. Trouble is there are like 5 in the same location and its not like the alarm is going to give us any hints by raising a hand. The beep is like every half hour to an hour apart so timing it has been difficult. Today I decide the hell with it, I will just change ALL the batteries. Wouldn’t you know it is the fucking one I can’t reach??!! UGH. Now I got to wait for my Bro in Law to get it. #shortpeopleproblems And what pisses me off is that these alarms are electric so why they need a damn battery to begin with is beyond my sense of reasoning. It’s not like when the power goes out there is going to be a fire, unless it’s electrical. Then I am screwed. And I don’t think a battery alarm is going to help me.

I am feeling better though I still have the sniffles. Mood wise I am still feeling blah. I got the courage to IM my editor to find out the time table for her getting my book. She said the middle of March and I am wondering whether that means this week or next. I really just want to know so I can have an ample supply of Ativan on hand. I am going to need it because I am going to be anxious as all hell, more than I am now.

Watched a little of the Sox game tonight. It was good to see the broadcast combo of Jerry and Don. Nice to see the Remdawg (Jerry) back in the booth. He has been missed.

I didn’t go out today except to buy cream for my coffee, only to find out my sister had a carton in her fridge. So if I feel like using my French press again, I am all set as I won’t have to go to her place to make coffee. I might tomorrow as I have been craving a cup of Tribute blend coffee. It is one of my favorite blends Starbucks makes and it only comes out in the Spring. It is so good. I have had a bag in the freezer for a while now. I hope it is still good.

Today is Carrie Underwood’s birthday. I haven’t tweeted her yet, even though I have been on twitter most of the day. She is one of my favorite female artists in country music. She was out before Taylor, I think with the whole Idol thing. Today they played a song from her Carnival Ride album, I told you so. I loved that album. Unfortunately, when I bought it off Walmart (they had the cheapest price for music at the time), I never made a CD of it so lost it due to copyrights/license issues when my computer died. I was so mad. I tried several different ways to get the thing on CD or to rip it and it never worked. I couldn’t even play the files on WMP even though they were WMA files. So I will have to repurchase the album now. And I will make a CD copy of it so I have it!

Stupid alarm is beeping again. Think I will put my headphones on so I don’t hear it anymore!
