Chirping Smoke Alarm

I woke up around 5 am on Saturday morning. I couldn’t go back to sleep though as I could hear a smoke alarm chirping. I got up to discover which one was chirping. 

I thought first it might be the one in the dining room right outside Misha’s room, but that was a smoke alarm and carbon dioxide monitor. I had to quietly go to the basement to retrieve a step ladder. Misha must have heard me anyway and opened her door (with noise cancelling earplugs still in), and I discovered the chirping was from the alarm right inside her bedroom door. 


She helped me change the battery and finally there was silence. I think it had been chirping every 30 seconds since 2 am.
