Another Early "Morning"

I have been receiving these annoying advertisement messages on my phone. Usually I receive at least ten to fifteen a day. The worst part is that these often come in the middle of the night. Recently I've forgotten to leave my phone on a soft surface at bedtime, so the vibration (it's more like a growl!) sometimes wakes me.

Last night was no exception.
As is my habit, I jolted out of bed the moment I heard my "alarm." This leaves no room for discussion with myself about sleeping an extra hour. I hopped in the shower, got dressed, and checked the time.
It said 23:55.
"Good," I thought, "I'm on schedule."
I was assuming it was 3:55. I'm usually out of the shower in five minutes, so it all made sense. Or so I thought.

A double-take shattered my assumptions; I quickly swapped my jeans and sweater for jammies and hopped back into bed with wet hair. When my alarm went off for real, I hit the snooze.

  1. HATE! There's got to be something we can do about that! Ridiculous!

    I wonder why you're the only one who gets them?

  2. This is what comes of waking up at an ungodly hour. You know I appreciated early mornings. But this is not an early morning--this is a late night!
