That Tuesday morning feeling

I seem to be experiencing it a lot lately. I wake up on Tuesday morning feeling less than 100%. Isn't that supposed to happen on a Monday morning? My body clock is clearly well out of kilter.

Burglar alarm works. 11:30, getting ready for bed, Diana sets the alarm using the remote key fob and 30 seconds later there is an ear piercing alarm sounding. I'm running around in my smalls pressing the disarm switch on the remote key fob and all to no avail. The ear piercing siren continues unabated. This is the point when I realize that I hadn't read the instructions on how to reset the alarm if it is triggered, so I start pushing buttons on the control unit in various random combinations in an attempt to switch the damn thing off. It's not easy concentrating with that din going on - I hope burglars have the same issue should we ever be unfortunate enough to have them as guests in our house. 

Anyway, got it switched off eventually, and the cause of this incident? No, not burglars, we had a Diana SNAFU. Alarm has 2 modes, 'full alarm' and 'home alarm'. Full alarm activates all sensors, home alarm, only those in areas of the house that you won't disturb whilst you are in the house, e.g. overnight. Diana had set the alarm to full alarm, so triggered it when she walked past the bedroom door. A senior moment - they are becoming more common. Time for a one way ticket to Amsterdam perhaps :-)
