Friday: the house is (not) falling apart

So as I'm going to bed, I heard this eeererrppp. Hmm. That's a new sound. I ignore it. Five minutes later...eerrerrpp. Hmm. I take more note this time. I wonder what is broken, but also wonder if the furnace is just making new noises. The furnace turns off. Eeereeppp. Sigh, I should go make sure everything's ok in the basement. Phew, it is. Maybe it's the radon dectector fan. Well, I can't do anything about that. Eeerreerpp. It now sounds like it is coming from the drier. Interesting. Oh! It's my dumb pager. I think my pager has an alarm that goes off at random times. It is kind of driving me nuts.
