1)set multiple alarms
2)wake up repeatedly to check time so you don’t miss aforementioned alarms
3)wake up AGAIN five minutes before alarms
4)fumble around in the dark putting on the pants, fuzzy socks and winter coat you’ve laid out in anticipation of getting vertical before 4 am
5)slide into the nearest shoes
6)whisper loudly (rather than shouting) to stop command on your Alexa device (third alarm) so you don’t wake your husband
7)fly out of the door and become a little giddy, discovering the stars are clearly visible (for a change) during a nighttime sky event
8)stand in awe under a fabulous orange moon with just a sliver of impossibly bright nightlight shining from its left edge
9)be surprised by a shooting star
10)run quickly back up the stairs to wake husband with plea to “come see the orange moon!”
11)watch a once in almost 600 year celestial event together
12)have husband ask how long you’re going to stare at the moon
13)return to bedroom (with bed hair still artfully piled on head) to have husband (who is now getting ready for work) note helpfully that you actually could have seen the orange moon from the bedroom window 😂
