Feeling a little "speedy"

[wbkbb]

Maybe it's because of the way my morning started.  I woke up at about 7 or 7:30 when the emergency alarm sounded on my floor.  I looked out the door to see what was going on, and saw the red light on over the apartment at the opposite end of the hall.  Fortunately, it was a false alarm; the woman who lives there had managed to pull the alarm cord

I hope the stretching worked to calm you enough for a rest. I did just read and article on how to increase your energy in last month's Real Simple magazine and one of the things they suggested was stretching.

Sometimes I think people are quite inept at normal life reactions and responsibilities.

PS Doesn't the alarm go to some central place as well as "waking the dead" nearby?

I don't think the room alarms are connected to any central control. That does seem like a flaw in the system, but I guess the designers figured someone in the 13 other apartments on the floor would handle it. So silly!

I got distracted by my friends page, so I haven't tried the stretching yet, but I do feel a bit calmer.

Good luck returning to a restful non-adrenalized state! I'm glad there was no actual emergency - but applaud you for being the neighbor who was concerned enough to investigate the situation.

Applause appreciated! Amazing how little it takes to be outstanding some days.
