Clocks

I can't remember the last time I had a broken clock, if ever.  Usually a clock is part of the decor of the room and you might change one for another for the look.

I've had this same alarm clock since 2004, when I left my ex and started living alone.  Why I bought one covered in stars, well I just can't remember why. I've never had a patriotic theme.  lol. But there it is, has traveled from place to place with me since then.  

Over time, this little clock has been ... well, a little abused.  I have slapped snooze many times! The buttons on the top to adjust time and turn the alarm off and on have been wearing out, getting loose.  Last night as I got ready for bed, I tapped the button to turn on the alarm and it was like the whole clock fell apart!!!

I knew I would need a replacement, thank goodness for Walmart+ !!  My new one was just delivered.  In the light of day, I picked up the old clock and it fell to pieces in my hand.  I think over time the little bit of heat generated by the circuitry caused the plastic to become brittle. *sigh*  

I think I'm one of the few in this world who is sensitive to the pitch of the alarm ..... none of the ones I've tried in the past have suited me.  I prefer the tone to be the key of G just below middle C on a piano keyboard.  So yeah, I'm kinda weird that way!! 

I will miss my old clock.  We woke up together too many times to count. 

When's the last time you replaced your alarm clock????
