Daylight Savings Time- I Just Can’t Spring Forward!
I knew that this was going to be an uphill battle when last night I set about changing the few clocks in the house that needed to be manually 
changed… you know, the one on the microwave, stove and most important one of all, my Automatic Coffeemaker.
I thought I was on top of everything when it suddenly dawned on- after I’d reset every clock- that it’s SPRING FORWARD- for a reason. Oh yes, I had brilliantly fallen back one hour. Fortunately I realized it just after I’d reset the last clock, and went back and moved everything ahead one hour.
This springing forward and falling back thing takes about a two-week period of adjustment. And, it’s not a function of my age, either. I’ve always been this way.
So today I woke up when ESPN came on (around 6 ) but the body clock said “No way.”
My body is moving where it thinks it needs to go, but the mind is about an hour behind.
I know that this evening, when we’re at our friend’s house for dinner, it will be time to eat, but my body will say… “hey, don’t you want to wait an hour?”
But if I do then that means I will go to bed even later and thus the vicious cycle begins….eat late, go to bed even later, then wake up late.
Not my style. Springing forward for me is more like dragging myself into being an hour ahead of where I thought I was supposed to be an hour later.
Hope your springing forward was a lot more springy than mine was.
