Some time in the middle of the night, the computer restarted itself and tried to restore what was on the desktop (I think?). Which included a paused YouTube video. So I was roused from sleep by the dulcet tones of "The Wheels on the Bus".
After stumbling downstairs to shut it off, I tried to get back to sleep. As I was drifting off, I dreamt I heard the pitter patter of little feet. Not what you want to hear in the middle of the night. Woke up. Was just a dream. But my brain continued to insist I heard ARR every time I started to fall asleep again.
Finally fell asleep.
Which is when the fire alarm in the new building behind us went off. Ear piercing shrieks, flashing lights. Followed a little while later by the fire trucks from multiple directions. They finally shut off the alarm. (It does not appear there was much of an actual fire, if any. It's not the first false alarm from that building.)
And then I couldn't fall back to sleep until probably around 5:30...when ARR woke up.
