Oh, Right, Pollen

I slept for 12 hours last night. Got up at dawn when the smoke alarm went off (yeah, I don't know, I'm pretty sure it wasn't actually smoke) and let the dog out but went right back to sleep until lunch time, occasionally rousing enough to consider getting up but somehow always deciding to roll over and sleep some more. Finally got up when I was too thirsty and had to get a glass of water, but still don't feel really awake. Also coughing and headachy and it occurs to me that the almond trees are probably blooming. A little early, but the weather's been odd so that wouldn't surprise me. Good for the bees, bummer for my sinuses, who make sure the rest of my body suffers right along with them.

At least I got way too much Chinese take out yesterday, so I have lots of comforting leftovers to graze on.

Huh. I slept late today too, thinking it was a snow day but it wasn't. So I'm just skipping for no reason at all, but the SO is awesome and is okay covering for me.

Also, my smoke alarm chirped twice yesterday and I thought that it was running low on batteries, but now it occurs to me that I haven't heard it do it since. So now I dunno.

Probably our smoke alarms are coordinating (through some sort of spooky action at a distance) their Awaken Skynet plans and keeping us asleep somehow so we don't notice. Clever of them to convince us all that we need them, though their red eyes in the darkness revealing their true nature.
