So, at around 12:55 AM on Wednesday, I awoke with a start. There was a noise, and a strange one at that. Having just woken up, however, I was still groggy and a bit dazed. Then, it hit me: glass. I had just heard the shattering of glass. Did somebody just break into my house?!
No, nobody did. The shattering was right behind me, and nobody could quite literally enter through the window in my room. It turned out to be nothing more than a lamp. After I woke my mom to help clean up the mess (Which, surprisingly, my sister never woke up from... The slightest noise made when my parents wake up to go to work will cause her to wake up. But a loud vacuum? Nope, not at all.), I concluded that I had knocked it over somehow with my pillow - said pillow being on the floor behind me, not in the bed, at the base of the lamp.
That's not all, though. That's the second identical lamp I've broken in the past few months. After cleaning out my departed great grandmother's trailer, my granmother let us take some of the stuff. We ended up taking the lamps, and I chose to use mine as a reading lamp. It was tall enough to fit over the headboard of my bed, so it was perfect. But, it was wobbly, and I eventually accidently knocked it over... So I took the other one from my mom, because she didn't like it. Of course, this one had to have even worse balance, so it really was only a matter of time until it fell over.
Man was I tired in the morning from being up like that... And, of course, there was another day of band camp. Oh, and yet another today. (And one tomorrow...) It's still just boring, annoying, and tiring.
