Feeling the Current

The alarm clock in my son's room (where I've been sleeping for oh, probably close to 3 years now) has been blinking the incorrect time since a power outage we had about 3 or so weeks ago. I never got around to resetting it until last night before we settled in for our nightly storytime. I don't know why, I just suddenly thought, hmmm, this really should be set.

This morning, I woke with a mild jolt and looked bleary-eyed at the clock which registered 4-something AM in the morning. I remember wondering what might've caused me to set my internal alarm for so darn early on this particular day.

Cosmic aftershocks from the Firing of the Grid? That would be interesting considering I hadn't even heard of it before reading that post. How many other people might've woken at that same time this morning and wondered why...
