Life is tough - unreasonably so. Everyday we hear tragic stories. Well, here's mine:
Somewhere in the process of moving our alarm clock broke. It still goes off right on time but it won't shut off. That is no way to start your day.
So i ordered a new one. i got it off Amazon where we still have tax credit left. It was cheap and had the time projection i wanted and it even changes colors! i was very excited until i saw the estimated delivery date some 38 days later. It was being mailed to me ... from China.
Well many frantic mornings later while someone rowed across the Pacific, the alarm clock arrived. Upon pulling it from the box i promptly nicknamed it the Time Tit. (While obvious from the photo, some things only really become clear when you hold it in your hand.) The clock was shaped just like a small B cup with a little plastic nipple where the time shoots out.
Cute, huh? i was worried that the time projection would be too bright. Not to worry. You have to tap its nipple to get the time to show. Exceeeept i don't have a bedside table. (i figured it was better that i had to actually get up to turn off the alarm.)
Only now, in order to find out what time it is, i have to extract myself from the embrace of my husband, roll up and over the sleeping dog, unwind myself from the covers, unlatch my cpap mask, then avoid knocking the fan off the stool by the bed to go over to the clock and tap the nipple. (Did i mention that the time display on the face is the size of a digital watch?)
And let me tell you! That is not as easy as it sounds. Just the other night Russ rolled over while i was mid-process, pulling the covers toward him and away from me. You just don't alter the trajectory of nearly 300 pound me suddenly. i hit with an impact that could have devastated a small trailer park.
i guess, some nights it's just not worth getting out of bed.
