UGH I was super tired this morning and didn't want to wake up. When I
finally got up and went to brush my teeth, I realized my smoke detector is doing the _super_ annoying, infrequent-yet-high-pitched squeak/shriek that means it needs a new battery.
a)
It was probably squeaking for hours, disturbing my sleep but not enough
to wake me up, which is why I feel like I didn't get any sleep :( Why
didn't the damn thing just sound the alarm when it needed a new battery,
like a normal smoke detector?
b) I know exactly when I replaced the
battery - when I moved in on August 1st. It's only been 3 and a half
months, and normally the battery should be replaced every 6 months,
right? So it's unusual to have to replace it so quickly?
All signs are leaning towards buying a new smoke detector, and a caffeine-fueled day.

what's up
I should probably post more regularly.
Listening to: Pandora (when I have internet), Kelly Clarkson's Stronger CD and Glee Volume 7 when I don't (on the subway)
Drinking: Stash's decaf pumpkin spice tea. It's not bad! I did not have high expectations and they have been surpassed.
Watching: How I Met Your Mother (on Netflix), A Very Potter Musical (on youtube, finally! thanks NNS), and Dr Who (when I can force myself). My DVR is fighting a losing battle for my attention with Google+ Hangouts.
Knitting: lots and lots of stockinette :( :( :( My OWL sweater is boring the snot out of me, and I'm working on a stockinette chemo cap for Christa's Granddad, in a sportweight yarn because they needed a more lightweight hat. On the plus side, I'm bringing it to Movie Night with Mom tonight so I'll definitely hit the decreases tonight: the end is near!
Reading: lots of fiction books on my Kindle Fire. It is SO much better than my old Sony e-Reader, for mostly 1 reason: wifi. I love not having to plug in to my computer to transfer files. And I can watch Netflix streaming video in bed when I am going to sleep! Win all around.
Plotting:
- mishloach manot (because Purim is SOON)
- gotta knit a cat
- tunisian crochet messenger bag to finish out my OWL
- contemplating moving, and therefore decluttering so that I will have less to move. even if I don't move, decluttering would be a great thing.
and that's the 5 minute update!
