My alarm clock didn't go off this morning, even though I set it correctly as far as I can tell. It's a new clock radio I got for Donna for her birthday, but she had very specific requiremtns for a clock radio that this one did not meet. So, I replaced my own aging clock (with lighted blue digits) with this one. I felt a little guilty about keeping it for myself, since it was a present I bought for Donna, but I justified this by saying that Donna didn't like my clock radio anyway, and the digits on this one are big enough that she can see them without her glasses from her side of the bed.
So perhaps it was karma that prevented the alarm from going off at 5:00 AM this morning. As it was, I had just enough time to shower, get dressed, and leave to make my 7:00 AM meeting. I didn't even have breakfast. I never skip breakfast. At least I have a free lunch out today, so I can fill up then.
