Spring Forward
Ah, spring. The change of seasons, the cool, crisp air with a hint of
warmth to come. We start to enjoy the ability to run outside without
bundling up, blissfully pretending not to remember how soon the mild
days will become the blistering heat of summer. We plan to enjoy the
longer days, waking up with the sun already risen...
No, wait. I still have to get up before sunrise. I think I got about a
week of walking to the train with the sun beginning to peek through
the night sky, but no more. Thanks to this strange thing we call
"Daylight Savings Time", I still wake up to darkness. Ugh. Why do we
do this to ourselves? The confusion, the lost hour of sleep, but worst
of all, prolonging the winter morning darkness. It's making me feel
all out of sorts, forcing me back on caffeine to make it into the
morning with a slightly clearer head than without. Is it that my body
clock hasn't adjusted yet, or is it the onset of spring allergy
season?
Ah, spring. Everyone's favorite season.

I know, it usually takes me about a week to catch up to both time changes. I'm not sure why we do it either.
my father complains about Daylight Savings right up until the day he gets to turn the clock back. any little thing that goes wrong is "because we lost that hour."
Cadiz - Thank your father for me. What a great scapegoat! It works in the Fall, too, I'm sure; I just have to figure out how. :)
