. . . are all about adjusting.
I’m talking about the time change, of course.
I’m not one to complain overmuch about the time changes. It’s a change. I tend to roll with it. And somehow, my internal clock (eventually) makes the adjustment. I tend to “like” the fall-back time change more than the spring-ahead version, but I do tend to adjust quicker to that spring one (I’m sure it’s the extended light of the season).
So yesterday, I enjoyed my “extra hour” right there in that chair. Reading. It was great. And then, for the rest of the day, I kept saying . . . it’s only 11:00? it’s only 1:00? it’s only 3:00? Because it felt so much later! (And that only lasted until 9:00 . . . when I was already ready for bed.)
Anyway.
Adjusting here.
How about you? And . . . how did you spend your “extra hour” yesterday?
Adjusting as well…and dealing with vertigo. Ugh!!!
Adjusting but not super excited about the darkness arriving at 4:30 pm
This is my FAVORITE time of year. I am one of those rare ducks that prefers Eastern Standard Time and hope they don’t go to Daylight Saving Time permanently.
I spent my extra hour knitting, of course.
Ah, the time change! Troy and Lincoln are out of town, so it was just me and E all weekend. We were knee-deep in our own little world…deep enough that I totally forgot! I must have been using my wall clocks all day instead of my phone, because Troy called us at 7pm…which I thought was 8, of course…and he wondered why I was making Elsa go to be so early! She was tired after a full weekend–and so was I. So we just went with it. She went to sleep, and I poured a little Maker’s Mark! Yay 🙂
I felt like yesterday was a very long day and that was sort of glorious, actually! My biggest thing is I don’t do the “what time is it really” thing, I just try and accept that the time is what it is.
Used that extra hour to knit along to a library e-book. Thanks to your suggestion a few days ago. Loved every minute..including the actual repetitive stockinette knitting.
The return to standard time every fall is easier for me than the spring ahead time change. This time change is more troublesome for my dog who starts begging for her dinner an hour early!
Adjusting but not happy with Early sunsets. I kind of like the idea of no time changes. Either way is fine with me.
The “fall back” change is easier and since I retired, it’s duck soup. The time change was hard when our kids were little but since then, I like you just adjust. I spent Sunday morning with a latte and rereading a bit of Nine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry by Jane Hirshfield. I’m trying to unearth my writing mojo and Hirshfield is a good place to start.
I did some knitting (stay tuned Wednesday to see what I knit!) and a good bit of tuning out the massive complaining coming from Steve. Change and Steve = oil and water. He does not like any change at all. (I know I said I was going to tune in more, but some things are better to tune out and remain silent! HA)
As much as I enjoy having more daylight in the spring, I like having the extra hour of sleep more!
DITTO!
The earlier light in the morning has made my day so much easier and I tend to get more done. I’m a morning person and I love this change.
I spent my extra hour knitting, reading, and wondering when it would finally be 9:00 pm. It had felt like that since it got dark around 5:00!
Lordy, I had a 25-hour birthday on Sunday and you’d think that’d be wonderful… HOLY HOW LONG CAN A DAY DRAG ON??? Haha. Monday wasn’t much better, but I seem to be adjusting as the week progresses.
