This Week...One Extra Hour

This Week...One Extra Hour

 

There hasn’t been much chatter about the time change this weekend but it will proceed as usual. Therefore tonight we get that coveted extra hour.

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst. William Penn

 

The whole time change thing always messes with my head.  The clock may say 6 am when I typically wake up but is it 7 or 5? Do I listen to my body clock or what my iPhone says?

There’s only one thing more precious than our time and that’s who we spend it on.  Leo Christopher



But we have been given an extra hour. Are you loading on the back end?  By that, I mean that knowing that you have that extra hour maybe you’ll stay out an hour longer tonight. Or maybe, if you’re Barbara Todaro, you’ll use that extra hour when you wake up and spend it at your gym or walking.

It’s not that we have little time, but more that we waste a good deal of it. Seneca



And you?  What do you plan to do with your extra hour??

Enjoy your extra-long weekend!

I am not not a fan of D.S.T. but here in Arizona I don't have to worry about it because they don't have it.

It always messes with my head too and I don't even have to change my clocks, haha.

Good morning, Kathy. I'll use my extra hour tomorrow on a neighborhood walk before the busy day gets underway. 

And Tuesday morning, I can meet a friend for our hike at 6:45 instead of 7:00AM--making use of the earlier daylight!

Hi Kathy Streib - 

Whether the time moves forward or backward, AZ and HI stay the same. It is very disrupting because we have to remember how many hours does every other state change.  Example, during Daylight Saving, California is the same as AZ, but Colorado moves 1 hour ahead. During Standard Time, CA moves 1 hour back and Colorado is now the same as AZ.  This is just one small change. 

We have to be cognizant of every type of time change.  We missed a flight once because of it.  If we moved with all the other states it would be much, much easier. However, I would like to see all the states stay on one time all year long. 

After moving to AZ, the arguments for making a change to DST eroded for me.  The big one, kids going to school in the dark. It is no big deal here!  It is actually more of a concern with after school activities because the kids come home at all different times. A lot of those times are in the dark! 

Sorry for the small rant!

I'm going to enjoy the extra hour of sleep.  But, I loathe the long dark evenings that the time change brings.

Oh Grant Schneider I wish I could spend a few days in Florida!!! Hope you and Phyllis have fun. 

Double ugh Barbara Todaro it's hard for me to get up when it's dark. 

Wayne Martin it always takes me a few weeks for my body and brain to adjust.

Ginny Gorman it makes sense to do that but I can't get myself to go to bed earlier. BTW so good to see you here again. 

Nina Hollander I gave up long ago trying to figure out D.S.T.

Candice A. Donofrio that would be nice not to have to go through this twice a year!!! I love that clip art. 

Ron and Alexandra Seigel I'm not too crazy about walking at the Preserve in the dark!

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD oh yes. Our pooch was completely thrown off.  Lucky wanted dinner earlier than the clock said.

Sheila Anderson I'm really don't understand why we still have it. 

Kevin J. May it gets talked about every year, doesn't it.

Brian England You guys are lucky!!!

Lottie Kendall we'll be up at our usual time to walk. Too much of a habit for us. 

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® rant on...I love it. I thought it would be nice to be in AZ with no DST but after reading your post you guys must really get confused.

I agree Myrl Jeffcoat I can remember driving home from work and it was so dark. Then you got home and you felt like it was time for bed. Thank you for the feature in your group. 

Thank you Carol Williams and yes, wouldn't it be nice if we had all of that wasted time back.

I'll spend the extra hour grabbing the ladder and some batteries and freshen up my 11 smoke detectors.

Hi Kathy, Thanks for the reminder.  Time just kind of marches on as usual - it gets away from me no matter what the clocks say.

Morning Kathy.

I wish they would just leave well enough alone.  Like you, I'm not fond of the change, but it is what it is

I really think we should just stay the same all year. I don't see the need for daylight savings.
