Hang in There - 30 Days and Counting!

I for one, hate day light savings time. Just leave the dang clock alone.

Move to Arizona Beth. Sometimes I have trouble adjusting and other times I do not.

Used to live there - 24 years - maybe that's part of the reason I don't like it. In the desert, you WANT the sun to go down! I'd far rather have more light in the early morning when it's cooler than light at the end of the day when it's hot!

True! When I am free of a job I would like to do away with it in Texas. In the summer we often find ourselves waiting for sun UP to ride because it is going to get so dang hot.

When we moved to MA from AZ, I took my kids to the doctor for a check up, the first Monday after the switch back to Standard time. When we came out at 5 PM, my 5 year old said, "Who took the sun away?"
It was a few years before he understood that humans can manipulate time. We joke about this now.

It took me years to realize why they call it "daylight savings time" in the SUMMER time, which is when you DON'T need to save it.

I finally figured it out. They save it up in summer, so they can sell it back to you in your electric bill (and antidepressants, and gym memberships, etc. etc. etc.) in winter.

[Aggie_Ama]

In the winter in Texas you get a reprieve from the electric bill.

Ummm...Beth..do you have bike lights? You can ride before & after sunrise dear

I don't like daylight savings time. Makes it too dark in the morning and hard to get up for work. And now they've gone and made it longer.

I live in Arizona - where they leave the dang clock alone - except if you live on the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations up north! Now, if that isn't confusing

So here we are, back in daylight savings time. I got 8 hours of sleep last night, yet I still felt really tired when I woke up this morning. Must be all in my head.

When I went grocery shopping on Friday, I picked up some 9 volt batteries so I could replace the one in my smoke detector. I tested it on Thursday night and it worked, but in honor of the vernal equinox I planned to follow the firemen's advice and change the battery anyway.

So I'm sitting here at the computer typing away, when I hear what sounds like a dripping sound. Hmmm. When I walk towards the bathroom to investigate, I realize it's the smoke detector chirping at me, to tell me I need a new battery. Talk about perfect timing!


Luckily, I am prepared...

It's here!!!!!!

There are birds building nests outside my living room, the Bradford pear trees are blooming, and I've got flowers blooming. I'm high on life today.

My silly atomic clock is waiting for the *correct* DST. I woke up to see a beautiful sunrise and it's in the 80's today.

[Mr. Bloom]

My atomic clock reset before I awoke...

I had planned on riding today, but knocked a 100lb stack of weights over on my left foot...and didn't think that climbing with a throbing foot would be fun

At least I know my heart is still beating...I feel it in my toe with each beat!

[Flybye]

I love daylight savings time, but not for the first week.
5:00 am is going to come real early tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about your foot. How do you knock over 100#'s?
