The ceiling fire alarm in the garage is telling me it's time to change the battery. Unfortunately, I don't own a ladder high enough to reach it. My neighbor does, but I'm sure he won't be up for hours yet. Every few minutes, the alarm gives off yet another insistent beep (it surely has been doing that all night). Each time I hear it, I think about other ways to reach the alarm to replace the battery. None of which will work. I know this fact but my brain refuses to stop wondering. #smallstories
