"Who Needs and Alarm Clock?" or "Someone Wants Me Out Of Bed"

Medieval Woman still lies in bed after reading until 3:45 in the morning. She rolls over to find a more comfortable position and comes close to consciousness once or twice. Decides to sleep more.

7:36am - The Dutchman calls from Amsterdam to say that he's been able to get on an earlier flight that will get him home a full 5 hours earlier. Joy!

Promptly goes back to sleep with a smile...

9:45am - Samir at the U-Haul place calls to say that our truck will be ready for pick-up tomorrow. Joy!

Promptly returns to sleep....

10:45am - Two octogenarian Jehovah's Witnesses come to the door. They grab onto my arm like pitbulls. They try to stuff copies of The Watchtower into my back pockets. They keep saying that it's a lovely day (MW blinks into the bright light with sleep still in her eyes).

After chewing my arm off to get away, I decide that I will do what the gods' obviously want and get out of bed. I guess they got tired of the subtle hints and decided to send in the Jehovah's Witness Granny SWAT team...
