Time To Spring Forward

By
Mortgage and Lending with George Souto NMLS #65149 NMLS #65149

Tomorrow is Daylight Savings Time, so it's time to Spring Forward and lose an hour of sleep!  I don't know about everyone else, but as much as I like getting an extra hour of daylight, and moving closer to Spring, I hate losing an hour's sleep.  However, losing an hour's sleep in exchange for getting an extra hour of day light and moving closer to Spring makes it a little more acceptable since I have Spring Fever.

This is also a good time to change the batteries in you smoke detectors, and anything else that requires batteries in your house.  Changing the batteries in the smoke detectors only takes a minute, and can make a life difference in case of a fire.

So don't forget tomorrow is Daylight Savings Time.  That means it's time to Spring Forward and one day closer to Spring and warmer weather!!!

Good evening George,

I already set my clocks forward so when I go to bed I've adjusted to the time! Time change never bothers me even when we traveled to Europe. But I know for some it really does bother them.

Hi George- I'm watching a late (9 pm start) game between UH and Baylor but doubt if I can stay up to watch it. We're ready to spring forward.

I am glad that I don't have to change my clock, but it still messes me up when dealing with people in other states, haha.

I set my clocks last night so I'd know what time it was when I woke up!

Hi George:

I like having the daylight later in the day and hate making the change but I survived. It always takes some getting used to but it's worse for me in the fall.

Hi George! Like you and Jeff Dowler, CRS, I'd much rather show houses in the daylight and DST is more than welcomed in my house! In our business, it's far more beneficial to have light after people get off of work in corporate America than early morning when we're not showing houses! As for the hour, like Dorie Dillard Austin TX, I really don't feel it at all.

Hello George Souto - Guess what? Spring arrived where I live! I went to the Tulip Farm yesterday and got up early (it's still dark) to post my flowers. I know you still have weeks away, but I promise spring will come your way!

George Souto ,

I like the longer daylight but honestly the time change is not helpful.
