how i woke up this morning

You know that feeling when you go to bed knowing that the next morning you have absolutely no obligations and therefore no need for an alarm clock? You know that you'll get to wake up whenever your body tells you to. Isn't that a great feeling?

Yesterday, I went to bed with that very fact in mind.

This morning at 7:00 am , however, I woke up to the crashing sound of my bedside lamp. Annoyed and bleary-eyed, I dutifully got up and cleaned the glass and gave up on the idea of going back to bed. I would just lie there awake - might as well get something done, I figured.

How did my lamp break if I was sound asleep? Well, it wasn't the cat - she came running in to the room, not out, when I woke up. It was me who unwittingly pulled the cord with my pillow.

The problem: this is my lamp (only 4 inches high)and this is my nightstand

To get any decent lighting from the tiny lamp I had to put it on the back board...bad move. Silver lining is I now have an excuse to go to Ikea, the place where dreams come true.

And while I'm on the Ikea subject, I love these. Too bad I have neither place nor need for either...
