How Will it be for You?

It was weird getting up at 6:30 in my bedroom, walking down the hallway, and seeing 7:30 on the clock by the kitchen. The one in my bedroom is an expensive toy that syncs to my ipod so it was still set in standard time. Still made it to church on time, but barely.

It doesn't affect dh and I too greatly. But to me it's so pointless.
Why are we even continuing to do it? A lot of states are opting out, which seems like the more intelligent thing to do.

I always love the longer daylight. But as an insomniac I need to start again to get a decent routine to get through the night with enough sleep.

Not a problem for me. With DH's sleep getting so messed up, it was actually a bit fun to wake him up first this morning.

Being retired makes this change a non-issue.

I did offer my grandchildren each a $100 bill if they would call and wake me up this morning at 2:30. 'Twas a real treat to see their eyes light up at the thought. Tisk-tisk. Shame on me. Of course there was no 2:30 this morning.

It doesn't give us any more time though. The daylight just does what it does at this time of year. It's an artificial annoyance.

I had replaced the stereo in my car. The clock that came with it needs a brain surgeon to figure out how to change time.

I have an olde electric clock on the night stand. It's worked fine for about 20 years.

Except ... it has a calendar with the daylight time the way it was when the clock was new!

I will reset it now and it will automatically change in a couple of weeks to when daylight savings time is supposed to be (according to that clock ). Same thing will happen in the fall ...

I'm a morning person ... so I L O V E the daylight savings time !!! I never have any of the adjustment problems AND I get an extra hour in the evening to work in the yard or just enjoy the evening.
