Good morning to everyone except the person I waterboarded awake. Oh wait, it was me.

Last night, I found a good book and stayed up ‘til the wee hours of the morning reading. Knowing I had to wake up in a few hours, I finally called it and put my phone top down (vertically) in a basket.

Come 6am, my alarm goes off. Decided to try to catch some more z’s and blindly grabbed my phone with two fingers. Turned it toward my eyes to peak at the screen and turn off the alarm.

Dumped water directly on my face and up my nose. Apparently, instead of grabbing the edges of the phone, I grabbed the lip of the cup. Went to tilt the screen, tilted the cup. Still feel the sensation of water going up my nose. 10/10 do not recommend.

Now my PJ top is hanging to dry, a towel is on the bed, and I’m lying under damp sheets because I didn’t want to risk waking my child by getting dressed. Good start to the day.

TL;DR: I stayed up late, went to turn off my alarm on my phone, grabbed a cup of water instead, poured it directly on my face and up my nose.
