Up all night

Let's see, what happened today? Well, it started with a bang at 4 am when my daughter woke me with her cries - turned out her arm was asleep. At least her arm knew what to do in the middle of the night. After 60 seconds of soothing her and waking her arm, I went back to bed, but couldn't fall asleep. Instead, I lay in bed and listened to the wind and rain, praying that the basement wasn't filling with water. I was panicked, yes, but couldn't convince myself to leave my cozy, if not sleepless, nest to walk downstairs and check. Hours later, vindication. When I finally made it down the two flights, I found a dry basement.
