Chirp!!

Boy do I feel much improved!

k....so I left work (again) with a headache that I couldn't quiet touch cuz it was 'in there' and 'up'. I musta found the right combination of 'so many of these, so many of those...'. Dunno.... But what I do know is that I feel loads better (headache wise) this morning. *checking* Nope--none! (and when you've had a hang-er on-er, exploding/receding headache for days.....NONE is great!)

No headache--and himself (to the best of my knowledge) is still breathing and on the planet.

It was close though.....verrrrry close.

'In the midst of a three day headache' is NOT the time to decide to check/install things that go 'CHIRP CHIRP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!!'

Yeah, well.....I think it was frustration on his part. After so many 'CHIRPS' and 'BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!'s' it was with great frustration on MY part that I untangled myself from cords and yanked myself from the darkness to hunt down the source of the 'CHIRP CHIRP' so I could rip it from it's life support.

Yeah.....well....it was in his hand ON the front porch.......'so it wouldn't disturb you' dontchaknow.

Apparently I appeared as disturbed as I was.
Yup--one carbon monoxide detector--he thought it was a good idea, given the amount of headaches I've had lately.
I'll give him that it's not a BAD idea....we have strips in the basement which are silent---but a chirping detector is sooooooooooooooo much better, I'm sure.
Just.......not in the middle of the stupid headache that's sending surging noises through my head, thankyouverymuch.

Yeah....well....... I did find bed again--only to be greeted with more of the 'CHIRP CHIRP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!'.
(he thought he'd figured it out--he was wrong)

And then another 'CHIRP CHIRP CHIRPCHIRPCHIRP'.
(just checking the batteries in the smoke detector...yeah, they worked)

And another 'CHIRP CHIRP CHIRPCHIRPCHIRP'.
Followed by another 'CHIRP CHIRP CHIRPCHIRPCHIRP'.
(multiple smoke detectors--gotta make sure we're protected upstairs and down, dontchaknow)

Followed by another 'CHIRP CHIRP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!'.
(uh huh....just making sure--after all, it's a new monitor and he needed to make sure he really DID get it right)

And yet ANOTHER 'CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP CHIRPCHIRPCHIRPCHIRPCHIRPCHIRP'.
(Of course ....checking the weather alert--how silly to think that would be any less important, given that we live in tornado alley......come spring...which it ain't.....)


I really do think he's still alive.
I mean, I did do a cocktail of pain medications with the stupid headache.....so it's possible....

I know. I'll check in a caring and supportive way......I'll see how many 'CHIRP CHIRPs' it takes before he comes sprinting out to check for fire, fumes or swirling clouds of destrustion.

I mean, afterall--what's the point of the detectors and monitors if you don't have drills to make sure you're responding to them?

Lemme get the stopwatch......
