What with vaxxing and biopsying, and firing and clock changing and chirping..
So, the evening of Diwali, i heard slight chirping, figured it was the downstairs smoke alarm. Next morning, all my helpers being unavailable, I climbed up myself, and changed the battery.
Next day more chirping, sounded like the loft. So I hauled the steps up two flights, climbed up and changed the battery. At this point, knowing about the fire, I thought maybe residual smoke drifting in.
Last night more chirping, so I hauled the steps down one flight, climbed up and changed the second floor battery.
This morning MORE XZ*X*ZXZ**XG CHIRPING!
So I went around listening and checking. And found it was the CO detector. Same manufacturer, same chirp. Second floor.
Changed the batteries. Chirp went high decibel. Removed one battery. Now a steady shriek. Removed other battery, muted chirping. Needs a shopping trip to replace it.
The good thing is that all my smoke alarms have new batteries. Probably didn't need them in fact. And I will have a new co detector.
My nerves may need a reset.
I'm sitting watching birds flittering in and out of the old trees across the way.
