What'd I Do?...
I fell asleep on the couch last night. Woke up and shuffled off to bed. THEN I remembered I needed to unplug my space heater in the mud room. So I opened the door that leads into the mudroom, I was doing this in the dark so not to disturb sleeping HBPW.
The next thing I hear is HBPW yell'n "The alarm is going off!" (By the way, we have ADT.) So I bolt to the alarm control panel with about, meh, 2 seconds left til meltdown and proceeded to punch in the wrong code, not once, but twice. Here comes HBPW to the rescue. She finally gets the eardrum-piercing alarm to stop. She hands me my phone and heads back to bed while not mumbling a few choice words AT ME!
ADT calls and all is good.
Pro Tip: If you need glasses to read, put them on before punching numbers on a control panel.
PS: I got into bed about 1230 whilst HBPW chewed on my ear til 1235. My reply: "Do you have the remote?" Then more words of wisdom from HBPW.
It's gonna be a good day, Tater!
