Day One: First Failure

Maybe "First Failure" is too strong of a phrase because I did achieve Semantic Success today; I got out of bed without ever hitting the snooze button on my alarm clock. However, my alarm clock has three alarms that can be set for different times - a radio alarm, a buzzer alarm, and a nature sounds "alarm" that could also be called a "nature sounds sleep inducer." I set the radio and buzzer alarms every night, the second as a backup in case I do the exact thing I did this morning.

This morning, I was awaken by my radio alarm, got out of bed, walked over to my alarm clock, shut off the alarm, and then got back into bed and slept until my second alarm went off thirty minutes later. I did not hit snooze when my second alarm went off (a thing I do often). That minor victory eases the sting of today's major defeat.
