Oh man I had a rough 24 hours. Last night when I came home from work my smoke detectors (120v interconnected) kept sporadically going off. I called an electrician friend of mine (who is also a coworker) and he changed all the batteries, and it stopped. I completely forgot to eat dinner while I was freaking out and on top of it I had about 6 malt liquor drink things (we started talking about work til about midnight). So my stomach kept me up until about 2am. THEN at 5am, I get up to go to the bathroom, and yep, the alarms went off again.

Then when I woke up at 7 my cleaning lady came over (as I'm running late and trying to get out the door), and a minute after she walks in the alarms go off AGAIN. I'm talking to her and I hear another weird noise. It's my poor kitten making the saddest noises I've ever heard her make. She was clearly terrified of the noise, so I had my mom pick her up and take her to my house since I was going to work, and had the cleaning lady remove the possibly offending detector (you can't tell which one is the problem unless you look at it while it is going off - they all go off at the same time and they'd shut off so quickly I had to guess). So far no peeps from the alarm since *crosses fingers*

But, my poor kitten did not take very well visiting her grandmother. We put her in my sister's room, who she's very comfortable with, but she just hid under the covers all day. I left work early to pick her up, because sadly this was stressing me out all day. I picked her up and she looked so sad But now she's home and seems to be very happy about it.

Now I need a nap!
