Fit a battery

Create an emergency preparedness plan.

Our smoke alarm went off twice today. No smoke, no fire, no heat. I will buy a new battery. But it might be a spider has moved in and it’s feet have tickled the sensor? I think I read it can happen.

We have two more in the house and they are both working. So I feel safe and everything is ready for action.

The plan is

Wake up if the alarm goes off.

Wake hubby

Go downstairs if safe,

If not try and get out of the bedroom window.

The only problem

I’m too old to climb!

I don’t have a ladder.

So turn everything off at bedtime!

Have keys in the lock so I don’t have to find them!

Twins again

Twins on the TV, twins in conversations, twins on the Internet. It’s like the universe knows what’s going on, and bereavement too, so sad that there are so many loses. Each one gouges another piece from my heart. The smoke alarm went off a couple of mornings ago. I want cooking and there are no sockets or electrical equipment near to it. The only thing I could think of was to check the Internet. False alarms are caused by high humidity or maybe a small spider sneaking inside the alarm! Or my mind telling me my sister is haunting me? I’d rather see her in a dream, to properly say goodbye. I’m sad, but I have to accept what has happened.
