Fall Back?!

I think this is the latest we have ever stitched back from Daylight Savings Time. Usually it has been the final week of October, which made trick-or-treating a little earlier than we'd like, but that was fine. The switch this year was moved a week later--to this past weekend.

I thought I was supposed to get an extra hour to sleep in. It didn't feel like that. I still feel groggy and a little hung over, but it could be the rain and gloomy weather we have had for the past couple of days too. Winter is coming and it's initial approach coincided with the end of Daylight Savings Time.

I could easily be a snow bird type--live in the north all summer than head south when the weather turns colder. I miss the sun, and frankly feel a bit defeated with the end of DST. Standard Time does nothing for me. I still have just as many, if not more, things I need to accomplish every day. I need every hour I can get and I prefer to choose those hours that are bright and sunny. No dice, for that wish now.

So, I'd like to fall back into bed today, but that is not an option. So I will be the slave to the clock I was before the end of Daylight Savings Time and plough through it on Standard Time. I guess, like that Bon Jovi song says, "I'll sleep when I 'm dead". That might be my only chance.
