Wakey Wakey

 You ever wonder if things happen for a reason?

Especially the random....inconvenience things? 

Like last night.

There I was. 

Peacefully asleep. 

When I get woken up by noise over my head.

Which okay. First thought is one of the roomies must have gotten up to grab something in the kitchen.

Since the kitchen is over my head.

Weird.

Since both roomies had gone to bed before I had.

But maybe they needed a drink or to warm up a heat pack or something.

Figured the noise would vanish and I would fall back asleep.

....Except...the noise kept continuing.....

And kept getting louder.

Which....okay?

Must mean that it's morning and one of the roomies was up and getting ready for the day....which would be slightly weird as I was supposed to be the first one to leave today. 

And it was weird because at like one point it sounded like they were moving the trash can around upstairs...like kinda early to do that...plus like garbage day has already come and gone this week but whatever.

But the NOISE kept going.

And I was getting annoyed because it's DARK. I am trying to SLEEP.

I roll over to look at my clock to see what time it is....and it's 1:30 am. 

Like WHAT?

There's no reason for there to be so much noise that late at night. Especially when I had gone to bed like an HOUR beforehand.

I had only been asleep for maybe an hour. 

And both roomies had gone to bed before me.

So of course with the noise being consistent over my head my next thought is "BREAK IN?!" 

Like had someone come into the house and was now robbing us?

So of course I do the slightly foolish thing and get out of bed to investigate.

Because 1. If it was actually my roomie I was going to be SO ANNOYED. Because YOU WOKE ME UP.

And 2. if it was robbers....well.... I'd burn that bridge when I got to it.

But like cautiously climbing the stairs to investigate I didn't see anything out of the ordinary though I could hear noises. 

And what do I find when I get upstairs?

Our little Robot Vacuum chugging away sweeping the floor in the kitchen.

Like....WHAT?

I mean we haven't used that vacuum in a couple of months at least. 

And when we do use the vacuum it's never at ONE IN THE MORNING.

Owner Roomie does her best to only use it when the rest of us aren't home so it won't bug us. Because as proven by the fact that it WOKE ME UP. The vacuum can be rather noisy on the hardwood floors. Especially when said floors are over your head.

But that begs the question...WHY did the robot turn on?

Like BOTH roomies were asleep. There was no reason for it to be active and moving. I had been the Last to go to bed and hadn't gone anywhere near the dock to trigger it to turn on.

I mean....I have had the vacuum randomly turn on on me before late at night. But that was while I was still asleep. And it's been months if not a year or so since it's done that.

Like...glitch in the system? Bug? Who knows?

Maybe a restless ghost?

*shrugs*

But it just begs the question....was there a reason why I needed to be woken up last night? Was there a reason to give me slightly less sleep than I had planned on? Was it a sign of something?

Who knows. 

I was mostly focused on "Get back to your dock and STAY THERE." before I went back to bed and crashed until my alarm went off.

But yah. Definitely a random thing. 

I really hope it doesn't happen again tonight.

I'd actually like to get some uninterrupted sleep. 

Until you next find these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
