My alarm went off. I hit snooze and crawled out of bed. I stepped into my slippers as I turned the alarm off for the day. I reached to unplug my iPod... but it wasn't there.
"That's odd," I thought to myself. "I'm pretty sure I plugged it in last night."
I went into the bathroom to get dressed for work. Using the light of my cell phone (which was in the place I had left it) I scanned the counters and "alternate iPod resting locations"... but found nothing.
Fully dressed, I walked back into the bedroom. Again guided by the glow of my cell phone, I surveyed the night stand -- empty. I did a sweep of the bed and -- there it was. Both electronic devices in hand, I crept back out of the bedroom.
The iPod was fully charged, which wouldn't have been the case if I had accidentally not plugged in and somehow left it in bed whilst I slept. I don't recall my alarm having gone off twice (though that doesn't rule out the possibility), however, even if I had hit snooze the first time and fallen back to sleep, I don't remove the iPod until I'm standing; so how did it get in bed, fully-charged?
I'm over 90% certain that I had plugged it in the night before. I remember then taking the iPad, which was lying in my spot, and bringing it around to Jen's night stand. The walk around the bed was enough that my bladder decided I'd need one last stop in the bathroom before attempting slumber. I returned to bed and went to sleep.
It is possible (though not particularly probable) that someone (or something?!) relocated my iPod while I was in the bathroom at night and then returned it to my bed when I was in the bathroom this morning. But who (or what)would do that? Did I wake up in the middle of the night, thinking it was morning, thus unplugging it, then, upon realizing my mistake, went back to bed with it in my hand? I have gotten up too early in the past, but that usually is remembered.
It seems my mind is playing tricks on me. Or perhaps something was changed in the Matrix. That would explain the black cat that walked by twice.
