Challenge #3

Third challenge: my alarm clock broke so how will I wake up to get to work on time. 

I automatically thought, I’ll use my cell phone.  But what if I didn’t have a cell phone? It seems like such a small thing but this is real stuff.  I thought about having a neighbour knock on my door but that isn’t t so practical if you live in the middle of nowhere.  I guess I’d go to Salvation Army and see if they have a second hand one there…..  maybe set a long timer on the stove?  We take so much for granted.  Nothing NOTHING is easy when you are living in Kenora in poverty - or anywhere.
