It Started With a Shuffle, a Random Comment, and Drip

My day began at 3:00am this morning with Little Nanna shuffling her way to the loo. This minor disturbance was quickly forgotten until the lamp snapped on to guide her way back to bed. She settled back in and then out of the darkness says “oh it’s 3:30″.

I stirred at that random comment as thats my wake up time. So quickly both phones were checked showing a time of 3:12am. Phew 18 mninutes more sleep.

I settled back down to try and savour those minutes. Alas the mind began questioning if my phones had the correct time. After a minute or so I put that to rest and once more attempted sleep with 15 minutes to go.

At that point I heard drip, drip from the bathroom. Perhaps it will be a one off I thought. Unfortunately not, for the next 10 minutes I heard the tap, then fell asleep.

5 minutes later my alarm sounded and I was off and running.
