It seldom happens this way

At six this morning the most awful clangor. In time I recognized my other alarm, the one with the extraordinary noise that will get through to me at the wrong time. Six a.m. is the wrong time.

I am off with Linda to buy rug stuff. We’re leaving at seven. Her ETD’s frequently are imaginary, so I called her at seven, and left a message.

She called back at 7:10 to announce, to her great joy, she really had a phone in the bottom of the twenty pound weight she calls a purse. 

To my great joy, she’s just coming through the toll booth.

It will be a good day.

    Positive signs of a good day early in the AM usually work out.

    there was a time when my family and friends knew to tell me to be there 30 minutes to an hour ahead of the time they really wanted me to be there.

    It's not so bad getting up early when you have a good time with a good friend planned! Hope you find lots of "rag stuff" and have a great time.

    Having a friend that enjoys the same things that you do makes a trip special. I love the photo at the end of your post. -- barbara

    Have a wonderful trip! I hope you find lots of wonderful rug stuff.
    I haven't heard an alarm clock since I was a small child, when Dad would set the clock as he left for work, to be sure I'd get up and go to school. Only in the winter.

    I haven't used my alarm clock in years. In other words, no noise at an ungodly hour.
