A Minor Error

When my alarm went off this morning, I did what I do every weekday morning. I groaned, shut it off then stumbled upstairs to the bathroom.  On the way, I closed the bedroom windows and threw a couple of extra blankets on Sam. After getting dressed and brushing my teeth, I went back downstairs, got Sam's breakfast ready for him, then turned on the computer.

Unlike other mornings, I didn't check my emails or read the news. Instead, I sat there and stared at the clock on my lock screen - and wondered why it was off by two hours. Instead of it reading the usual 5:35, it read 3:35.

Even at 3:35 in the morning, it didn't take long to figure out the problem. The problem was me. 

Yesterday, I set an alarm to remind Sam and I to leave for our eye doctor's appointment. But instead of choosing 'PM' , I apparently chose the similar, yet completely different 'AM'. 

I now have a pounding headache but at least Sam and I will be early for our appointment. Unless I fall back to sleep, that is.
