Alarmed

Sometime in the night I turned off my bedside clock alarm and went back to sleep. Later, when I woke up naturally, I stretched lazily and mused over all the wonderful things that I would do, with all of the time that I had freed up by sleeping in. My musings were interrupted by the BUZZ of my alarm. I had only dreamed that I turned off the alarm. Alarmed into action, I got up at 7:00 A.M. on a Saturday, out of a warm bed, to go exercise for my health in a cold pool at the YMCA.
