I hate Daylight Savings Time. Spare me - just spare me the arguments. It is now 5:10 PM Eastern DAYLIGHT Time and I am still in my nightgown, fuzzy robe, and flannel pants. I missed the only TV show I regularly watch (CBS Sunday Morning) because I had a bad night and - oh yes - I lost an hour to that stupid clock. Great. I feel like a slug, I look worse, and I don't care. There is a Nor'easter storm RAGING outside, making it a perfect day to be in the sewing room and - nadda. I can't summon the energy to do anything. I went down the hallway 3 hours ago to make up the bed and take a shower and I realized I had left the electric blanket ON. Total sign from God - I crawled back in to bed. Nice. Good nap, sure, but it will take me about 2 weeks to make this stupid adjustment. I love my sleep more than just about anything. I think we should just call this idea what it is - a train wreck.

Spring Ahead - Fall Down (On My Face)

I can totally relate -- this one always seems to take the starch right out of me. Losing that hour just screws everything up. I don't ever have as much trouble adjusting back when that extra hour is returned in the fall!
ReplyDeleteI honestly wish they'd just leave the time alone. We have lots of Amish friends, and they don't do DST, and they get along just fine. I think we could, too.
