Of addictions and slumber

 Thankfully I'm not totally addicted to binging television shows at least right now. Today I was a bit more productive than I have been earlier this week. I actually crossed the street and did some grocery shopping. I know that's not a big deal really just a few yards crossing the street but I did it and I have Provisions now if the weather gets as cold as they're talking about getting. They being the local weather forecasters who for the most part I do trust but I do think you like to get a little hyper on the news reporting sometimes or the weather reporting are the forecasting. I think you like to use scare tactics to elevate their self-imposed superiority in a week quasi scientific occupation. Now mind you I didn't say I didn't watch any of the current series I'm dealing with right now that being Travelers. It's really a good series with seasons and they've been consistently good, at least for me, of those seasons. It's taking me awhile to get the concept of the series down but I finally figured it out I think to a certain degree. Body occupation by other entities is nothing new in the area of Science Fiction and probably horror but the premise on this one is really good in that they're using people that were going to die in the first place and working under a relatively rigid code of supposedly doing good working to save the entire planet. Some of the signs of someone antiquated but overall I think it's pretty well done at least I'm enjoying the series for the time being. I'll be more interested come the following week when the president takes the inaugural oath and the new Administration comes into power. That might be the best time to be a traveler to another planet. In the series to anybody who enjoys alternate realities, time travel, and a good team up. I don't know how much time I will devote to this series overall I think I might be in the last season. They might be working on another season now too which would be season number four or five I think. That is a lot of Television viewing which greatly embarrasses me.


Last night or this morning as I was sleeping last night or this morning as I was sleeping I was awaken around 3:25 a.m. why is sharp chirp. The chirping sound that a system gives off as its batteries are about to fail. In this case it was my smoke and fire alarm. They had been worked on earlier in the week and the new batteries were installed and everything set in order and put back in place. Somehow during the night however it developed a chirp and now it was chirping every 2 or 3 minutes and then a voice would follow like every 5 minutes say in the batteries are low and they need to be changed. I can't say that it was spooky but I can't say it was unnerving to the point where I couldn't get back to sleep with this chirping going on so I decided I'd have to get up and what I had in mind was to take one of my big sticks and knock the device down and then plug the battery or whatever- that didn't happen however. I drug my ass out of bed which is not an easy feat grabbed a big stick and then after the smoke alarm hard as I tried to hit it that wouldn't dislodge I ended up poking some buttons on the thing and each time I poked a button would give a different rendition of something and finally I noticed that it wasn't blinking anymore and it seemed to be quiet I stayed up for another 10 minutes that it didn't resume its chirping or it's recording so I went back to bed and oddly I went back to sleep for a couple more hours. This was a totally golden save if he asked me…..
