I am joining Kwizgiver in this. That's even her graphic I stole! In her words, "This isn't about perfection or keeping a streak. It’s just about noticing." I need to focus and, in using shrink's word, "unhook"
The Prompt: One thing you can hear, and one thing you can touch.
I'm a day behind. But according to Kwizgiver, that's okay. And she'd know because she's the creator of this challenge.
Hear: The old-school box fan in my bedroom window. The technology is more than 100 years old, and yet it's still a good way to pull cool air from outside and make my sleep more comfortable. It feels more gentle than turning on the a/c.
Touch: Both of my alarm clocks. Yeah, I said "both." I have a rather pretty teal clock that gives me a polite beep-beep-beep. Then there's the big-ass black clock with the bell on top and a clang that could wake the dead. They are both battery operated. Like the fan, I prefer the old-school feel. I don't want to wake up to an alarm on my phone (which I would forget that I set or I set incorrectly and would go off when I don't want it to). I appreciate how low-tech my approach is.
I am leery of using electronics for my alarm clock, too.
ReplyDeleteWe have a clock radio from the 1980s that we use as our alarm, and another digital clock that is new because the old one we'd had for about 30 years suddenly went nuts and was flipping through the numbers like it was fast-forwarding time. But I also set a timer with Alexa. So three alarms.
