Alarm clocks

Waking up to a rooster is way better than waking up to an alarm clock.

It’s always been a big struggle for me to wake up in the morning.

I’ve tried many things to get me up early, including multiple alarms, alarms that play music to pump me up, and more.

At one point I used an app that required me to solve a math problem before it turned off.

I saw this brilliant use of smart contracts today that sends money to a charity if you don’t turn it off in time. That would get pretty expensive for me.

Have you seen the alarm clocks that roll off your nightstand and you have to catch it to turn it off? I’ve considered trying these, though at least for a period of time I have something better. It even includes a chase sometimes.

We are currently harboring the roosteriest rooster I’ve even been around. He starts blasting bright and early, and I have to run out to the back yard to put him in the garage until it’s no longer the wee hours of the morning. He’s either still perching in the magnolia tree where he loves to sleep, or if I delay too long I get to run after him all over the back yard. He’s 4 months old, and awkward in his huge, miraculously fast-growing body which he isn’t sure how to use it all the way yet, it’s easier to catch him than the hens. Even so, by the time I’ve got him in the garage and the feed and water out, I’m quite chipper and ready to go.
