Meanwhile, I have programed my phone to wake me up at different times nearly every day without needing to worry if I remembered to turn it on or if I set it to the correct time. Even better, I have set a song to wake me up rather than some sort of klaxon. My normal alarms start playing "Move Along" by All-American Rejects, but I wanted something different for the mornings. I decided upon "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves as it is a nice, peppy song that, even though I rarely let it go past the opening drum measures, fills me with energy and joy. For Sunday, I decided to bring in the morning with a more spiritual feeling, so I have "The Call" by Michael W. Smith set up to serenade me awake.
I had to slightly rearrange my nightstand, with the Sony alarm clock getting pushed farther back, and my Millennium Falcon cordless charger (a Christmas gift to myself a year or two back) in the easy-to-hit zone next to my bed. I was concerned about having difficulties turning off the alarm from the phone soon enough that it does not disturb Janelle as much. The Sony alarm clock had a nice, ridged button that I find blindly with a sold, tactile slide to turn it off. With the phone, I have to squint and aim for the small grey oval on the screen (not the large orange one that "snoozes" the alarm).
So far, it has not been an issue.
