Disturbing Sleeping Patterns

On Saturday night, my apartment building caught fire. As usual, I slept through the alarm. It's a little scary to imagine that if I'd been left to my own devices and if it had not been quickly contained and extinguished by the local fire department (Thanks CFD!), I'd be dead of smoke inhalation right now. As it stands, all I have to show for it is a story about being awake for about an hour in the middle of the night.

My next-door neighbor didn't even bother to turn down her music, let alone stop her party long enough to evacuate.

Yesterday, for no real reason at all, I was wide awake at 4 AM, and I didn't get to sleep again until just about the time that the alarm clock went off. Today I've had a full night's sleep, but the tickling in my throat is telling me that I'll be getting a mother of a cold soon.
