Damn

I had a terrible (broken) sleep last night, which is one of my least favourite things and something I try hard to not have happen... but last night all my trying didn't seem to help enough.

First of all, and most interestingly, it was warm last night, which it hasn't been in ages (it's even warm this morning which is throwing me off after mornings the last few days being two, three, or four degrees cooler than this.)

I threw off all but my main sheet and worked at falling asleep but then at just before half past eleven, an amber alert went off and woke me up.

Honestly, I don't think it was my phone.  My phone is pretty much always on silent mode and was charging in the kitchen (not in my bedroom) so I think it was likely either the phone of someone outside (parking lot area, my bedroom windows were open) or maybe above me but the noise was LOUD and woke me up and I was confused for a while as to what was happening or what had just happened but eventually my brain thought "I think that was the emergency alert system?"  followed by "I should get up and find out what happened"... you know, in case it was an earthquake (that I'd slept through) or some kind of danger I had to respond to.

But I really wanted to try to get back to sleep ASAP so I didn't.  And then I couldn't fall back asleep cuz adrenaline and too warm and then I tried and tried but then had to pee so got up and did that (and still didn't check my phone) but it was still too warm (WHY?  Am I being punished for putting my A/C unit away?!) and well, yeah, it just wasn't a good night of sleep, which I wanted (and needed) it to be.

Turns out the emergency alert was an amber alert that has since been cancelled, but I am curious what phone made that noise cuz if it was mine NO THANK YOU!  (My upstairs neighbours were awake most of the night too which I likely wouldn't have noticed if I'd managed to stay in the deeper sleep zone.)

Anyway, just whining... and hoping to wake up, but not to kick off anxiety with the caffeine (tea) I just had.  Have a good day wherever you are and remember (if you had yesterday off) that it's not Monday.
