More Tired and Cranky

I've been in a tired and cranky mood for the last few days. Last night I finally decided to go to sleep early and see if I could sleep off the cranky. First, at around 1:30 the power went out. How do I know this? Because there's a box out in the hall that starts beeping when the power goes out and it woke me up (normally the UPS would wake me up, but I need to get a new battery for it). Luckily the power came back on in a few minutes. But then it took me forever to fall back asleep again, only to be woken up at 5:20 by bright lights flashing from the fire truck that pulled up outside. This seems to happen every month or so. I'm not sure what building they are going to, but I've seen it very often. So, in the end I haven't gotten enough sleep, and think I may and try for a 45 minute catnap right now. Bah.
