What a Rough Start

My husband always has the alarm set so that he can wake and then after a while he comes to wake me. I never wake to an alarm. This morning I did not wake to the alarm, I woke to him being beside me telling me that we slept in. Yikes we haven't done that in decades. So both flew up and out of the bedroom. We are a few minutes behind our usual schedule, but am making it up. He rises earlier than he needs to. What a rough start to the day, it should all be much easier now I hope.

I hope you were not late and you are not too much anxious because of what happened.

@Juliaacv - I am glad, I am always a bit anxious when I wake up late.

Hope your day goes smoothly after the rough start. You both must have been tired to have overslept.

Thank you, it is actually a great day today. My doctor started me on a new medication yesterday and a side effect is an upset tummy. I only took 1 dose, but I was up last night for about an hour with a terribly upset stomach. I was surprised that it could affect me so quickly, but it could be something else too.

@Marilynda1225 It was a great day, and it is no-cook Wednesday, so I am looking forward to a nice healthy wrap for supper tonight.

I feel for you. I hate how rushed I feel if I oversleep.

I get up really early, so I wasn't really rushed more than about 10 minutes.

Was it a must to wake up to the alarm? As long as no harm was done in sleeping in, I think that's okay.

For my husband it is a must that he wake to an alarm but not for myself.

@toniganzon He is retired, but he goes to our son's home before he begins working so that he can look after the twins while our son and his wife both work.

For my internal alarm to fail is understandable because I was up during the night feeling nauscious from a new medication, but for him it was odd.

It's not always fun when these sorts of things happen. But it is what it is.

It rarely happens, but it turned out to be a really great day, so all is well in the long run.

He uses a clock radio to wake by.

That is how I like my days to begin too, a few minutes ahead of the game.
