We dodged that bad weather yesterday that made tornadoes around us. Had it hit us we would've heard the storm siren just like the test an hour ago and would've sought shelter.

Minutes after the storm alarm test ended then it was time for the painfully loud fire alarm test that mom and I hate. She is very smart (like me) and got the idea to vacuum through it. I hate that vacuum and hissed when I saw it come out but I stayed put on the window and allowed her to proceed after moving things out of the way. She was already done with the living room when the alarm finally went off but she turned it on again and swears it helped her, I think it might have helped me too.

Of course we don't ignore the real alarms, only when they test them. Now that the monthly alarm tests are done and Mom is done vacuuming (for now, laundry break in that room 2 floors down) I'm finally curling up to take my cat nap. Mom thinks she might take one too since I woke her up an hour before her alarm this morning. I know she gets up at 9 but I think she should be up around 8, we fight about that.
