Spring Cleaning

The weather has warmed up a bit, although not enough to justify my annual 'fling-open-all-the-windows-and-play-Stravinksky's-'Rite of Spring'-until-the-cats-freak-out'. I've decided, since I don't have a life to speak of right now, to do some Spring Cleaning. I'm being patient about it, and doing about one room per day.

Lyra woke me up this morning in a very odd manner. My electronic keyboard was leaning up against the wall, and unknown to me it was on. It had been set to some kind of soft electronic bell sound. Well Lyra decided to rub her face against it, resulting in me waking to a very unfamiliar sound.

There's a few things in this apartment that have alarms that I am very unfamiliar with: The battery back-up to the computer, the oven alarm, and other things. When these go off it can be rather disconcerting, even more so when it wakes you up from sleeping. Anyway, moments of intense sleepy confusion were resolved when Lyra repeated the rubbing process and hit more keys this time. Mystery solved.

OK, I must return to cleaning this room. Ugh.
