The morning

Post drama, post hike

Thoughts go to Kev's Grandmother today as she had emergency surgery in Alabama. ♥

And ooooh wee. Here's what happened this morning. It started with me waking at 3:30 to pee, nothing new. As I sat back on the bed I heard a noise that sounded just like the front screen door closing. Of course this puts me on alert and I raise the blinds to peek out for a while and watch. Nothing. I crawl back in bed and guess I fell asleep around 4. Around 4:30 the whole house alarm tears into its crazy ass loud scream. Now...it's set to "Away," which means it will go off if a door or window is opened OR if someone is walking through the living room. I pop out of the bed, exorcist like, eyes wide and crazy and got a couple guttural screams out before yelling "Get out of my house!" Get out of my house!" After a couple minutes I was lucid enough to use the remote and turn the alarm off and call Kev. We called the alarm company and sorted things out but turns out there was a low battery in the motion sensor in the living room that could cause a faulty alarm. Holy crap. Needless to say I was up for the day.

Oh lovely meaty

I changed out of the pee-in-my-pants pajamas (no I didn't pee myself because I had just peed an hour before, but you know I totally would have) and hit the road to Chautauqua for the 4 mile loop with Sherri. This was her first hike in the park and it's a good un! Lots of incline to get the heart rate up and a sweat happening. I got home and immediately cooked up four slices of bacon and a three egg omelet with cheddar. Ate it all and then showered, ready for work. A few things came in this morning that will keep me busy the rest of the week.

The alarm man arrived at about 3:45. He fixed everything up and I'm set for some sleep tonight. I worked until just after 6 and then lit the grill, changed the propane tank, lit the grill again and cooked up the very anticipated balsamic mustard steak I marinated yesterday. Oh it was so good. I polished off the roughly 1.3 pounds while watching Cedar Cove. I had a little orange sugar free Jello, my fav and finished the night.
