Our alarm clock failed, but the backup was working just fine. At 5:30 am, Scout, our backup system, jumped up and headed to the backyard. I heard his movement and promptly opened the screen door, and he was out like a duck on a June bug.
Upon examining the wall clock, it was determined that it was Wednesday, which means the gym. I jumped back in bed and feigned a terrible pain so I could not go to the gym today. Mary, being smart, brought in a cup of coffee, and my nose caused my pain-ridden body to rise (I forgot to yell in agony), so she caught me. We had to go!
