I work earlier on Fridays and usually set my alarm clock to wake me. I forgot to set it. This morning I awoke to the strangest electronic clicking. It was about 15 minutes after when I should have gotten up, but the darkness and comfort of the bed had tricked me into thinking it was earlier.
The clicking noise was coming from my old digital clock. I received this digital radio/alarm clock when I was 7, and have been using it since. I remember very little pop music from my childhood, but much of what I remember I heard on this clock (Cyndi Lauper, Huey Lewis). The radio/alarm function quit working years ago, but some phantom in the clock decided to wake me this morning. Thanks.
Cyndi Lauper and Huey Lewis are from your childhood. Thanks for reminding me I’m getting old.
Getting?
