day and night

well, here we are, 3 days into daylight savings time (or is it the cancellation of daylight savings time?) and i am still messed up.

it started out quite nicely on sunday morning, when i slept EXACTLY one hour later than i normally sleep, thereby (i thought!) cancelling the whole thing out.

unfortunately, my body did not agree.

anyway, the last 3 days have been the LONGEST days of my life! so far, the biggest change is that i am absolutely DONE working at 3:30pm. finito.

the funny thing is that my bedtime has not seemed to change at all. last night, thanks to a series of misadventures best saved for another post on another day, i ended up staying up until about 11:15...which 3 days ago would have been 12:15...on a school day! EEEK!

and this morning, just like clockwork, i popped open my eyes at 6:30am as if i'd been sleeping for days, and here i am. i will need a nap at about 10am, i am sure.

i don't remember things like this ever being so difficult before. better add it to the list of "things SO not to love about being middle-aged."

the upside of the whole deal (and you already know this if you ever ride in Ernie with me) is that my car clock - which i forgot how to set in 1999 - is once again only 4 minutes slow, instead of one hour and 4 minutes slow. much less math calculations to do whilst driving, for the next few months anyway :)

happy day!

Not to get all one-uppy on you, but get this: Daylight savings on Sunday morning in the Central Time Zone...wake up Tuesday morning in the Mountain Time Zone. My body is clueless.

Why is it so much harder to Fall back than it is to Spring forward? I feel really tired all the time now too, and I usually feel tired, but this is far worse. Now all I need it to do now is snow!
