dinner and other things

bluecastleMy friend from high school who works in the next building and lives up the street from my BFF just called to see if I wanted to get drinks after work. She's all but a teetotaler, so she must have had a bad day.
All of this ties back into my wakeup this morning. I woke up and went to roll over around 6 a.m. and I heard the damn CO2 detector beeping. Given that I WOKE UP I figured it couldn't be too much of a problem, and besides, the guy was just out the other night and said he fixed it.
So when I went to check it and make sure it wasn't the fire alarm wanting batteries or something I actually read the back of the thing.
It seems that one beep every 30 seconds means "my batteries are dead, please fix me." If its four beeps every minute that means "call 911." So, um, that service call the other night... yeah. probably just dying batteries... although since he did fix two things I can't say it was a wasted trip.
But, to bring it back to the surprise dinner, now I want to swing by my house on the way to the restaurant as I am paranoid and want to make sure I didn't just ignore something I shouldn't have and have killed my cat with fumes.
Mind, I dug up new batteries and stopped the detector from beeping and everything should be fine.. but still I am nervous.
Not nervous enough to give up dinner and drinks, mind!
