The worst ways to wake up

1.  A phone call with upsetting news.
2.  The dog barking her fool head off at people across the street.
3.  Abruptly because you’re late for an important date.
4.  The sound of crashing, like a giant mirror shattering at midnight.
5.  The dog doing that pre-vomit gag noise.
6.  The dog scratching at the door.
7.  A work-related text message.
8.  A smoke detector screeching.
9.  The yelling of kids who are fighting over nothing that matters.
10.  A wrong number on the telephone.

I don’t love waking up in the morning anyway but opening my eyes to any of these scenarios is a real bummer.

This morning, I woke up to several of these.

It’s Groundhog Day.  I hope tomorrow is not a repeat of today.
