what a wonderful day

I got to bed around 3am last night. Woke up at 8am due to the screaming screeching siren that passes as a fire alarm. Took me a good 10 minutes to find a robe & slippers; then I grabbed the cat, keys, and wallet and headed downstairs.
I was a bit relieved to find that I wasn't the only one wearing a robe. Even better, the next door neighbor's black lab is visiting friends (he's a friendly sort, and my cat doesn't quite know what to make of him). Turned out the sprinkler system for the parking garage had a problem - air in the line - and went active as a result, which triggers the alarm.
I was back in bed by 8:45, but I didn't get back to sleep til around, oh, 10. I woke up around 2, then again at 3. I considered just staying in bed all day, but finally got up again about 4 and had breakfast.
Oh, and Marty downstairs was hearing a shuddering noise from the sprinkler room (she lives right above it). So I went down to check it out, and ended up conferring with Harvey, one of my partners incrime condo directorship. We called the property manager about the sprinkler system (again) followed by chitchatting for an hour or so.
Then I realized it was 10pm, and came home to fix dinner.
Oh, and to help me have a better day, the big (3' by 2') framed abstract print in the entryway crashed to the bookshelf below it and then to the floor. It knocked the plant and everything else on the top shelf to the floor with it. Broken glass is spattered around and I won't be surprised if I get a complaint from the downstairs neighbor about the noise.
And we'll have fun, fun, fun...
