Take Two

I woke up about twenty minutes before my alarm rang this morning. My initial thought was to go back to sleep, of course, but this turned out to be difficult because I really needed to pee. So, I got up, waddled to the door and hit the lightswitch, whereupon one of the lightbulbs flashed like lightning and shattered into a thousand pieces. The fuse blew as well, so by now I was standing barefoot in the dark with shards of glass all over my floor. Drat.

Luckily I managed to escape my room without cutting myself to pieces. I flipped the automatic fuse, found a pair of shoes and went back into my room to pick up the largest pieces of the old lightbulb. I had to hoover to get up the smallest pieces of course, and by the time I was finished with that my alarm had gone off.

The moral of the story is: life punishes you if you get up early.
