Friday Fun…One Hour Less

Friday Fun…One Hour Less

 

This weekend, we’ll lose one hour between Saturday and Sunday morning. I’ve never been quite sure where the hour goes; however, miraculously, it reappears in the Fall. 

Thanks to our digitized world, with few exceptions, we will not have to endure the tedious task of resetting our clocks. My own internal body clock always takes a few weeks to adjust. 

For example, at 6 am “new time”, my body is going to rebel, saying it’s only 5 am. And, when the clock says “Time to consider getting ready for bed”...I’ll be like a child who says “Awww, one more hour, please!”

Now for the good news…we’ll have more hours of daylight! That means extra hours for gardening (hear that, Wanda), and it will be easier for the evening showings of your listings!

 

So for some Friday Fun…

-Do you know where the hour we’ll lose goes?

-Do you like Springing Forward??

Yes, Kathy, I know where it goes. It moves to the back of the line (tagged onto the end of the day).  😁

Good morning, Kathy... I HATE, HATE, HATE daylight saving time! And I will always prefer more light in the morning.

Nina Hollander, Broker I know how much you hate it!!!!   I have the same issue adjusting to the time change.

Kathy Streib I've just finished my annual complaint about DST to publish tomorrow! And I'm not looking for more time to showing property. I like having an excuse to stop by 5pm.

Kathy Streib - To me the time change is seamless. I appreciate both. For Spring, I love to get more sunshine when I wake up and in the evening with a good sunset too.

Patricia Feager it doesn't bother me like it used to. I do like more light in the evenings.

Ugh, I saw this on my calendar, haha.  Even though we don't change times in Arizona, everyone around us does, and it screws me up just the same, haha.

Brian England it's just as hard for those who don't have the time change because you have to remember what time it is for us.

Kathy Streib  the time change has lost it's purpose. it was set up at a time when people were far less current and no smart world

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 I'm not sure what the real time is anymore.

 Kathy, Gain an hour or lose that hour of sleep doesn't matter to me because I am up early every day anyway.

Good morning Kathy. Maybe it is my age but my internal clock wakes me at 5:30 am, if not before daily. This Sunday morning will not be an exception. And, I will pay the price of a missed hours sleep. No exceptions, my body says "suck it up". Yes, it will take some time to catch up but my internal clock has its own setting, no exceptions. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin I've always been an early riser but do admit to not getting out of bed until after I've roamed cyberspace with my iPhone for a few minutes.

Good Friday morning, Kathy. I am among those who would vote to eliminate DST.

Thanks Kathy!!! Great message!!!

Now for the good news…we’ll have more hours of daylight! That means extra hours for gardening, and it will be easier for the evening showings of your listings!

Both changes are hard to adjust to and I would prefer if we just had one time set for the year.

I'm with you Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 If they took a vote, I'm pretty sure it would pass.

I truly wish we could figure out how to get rid of the hour. I like the extra hour at night. Lets dump the early hours    :)

Good morning and Oh for heaven's sake! This changing of the clock got old a long time ago!

Kat Palmiotti I couldn't agree more. It seems earlier this year.

Jacinda is sleeping over Saturday night and Stanley is arriving at 9 am Sunday morning to spend the day. Clock change is certainly going to make that all the more interesting for me. LOL 

I'll be napping late Sunday afternoon for sure!

Mar 06, 2026 08:05 AM
Kathy Streib

Sharon Tara Oh yes, you'll be napping for sure!!!  Are you making a special breakfast for them????!!!

Yes, I do know where the hour goes Kathy Streib - it goes to the politicians that sit in rooms and argue about whether or not to end the madness.  Farmers deny claims that it is for Farmers.

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Real Estate Svcs. I would love someone to explain to me why we still have it.

I'm glad we don't change time zones here in AZ!  Seems so stupid to me.  The only thing I need to do is remember who's in what time and adjust accordingly.  Which sometimes I'm off.

Mar 06, 2026 09:34 AM
Kathy Streib

Anna "Banana" Kruchten see....even though AZ doesn't observe it, you are still inconvenienced by it.

You have a very positive vibe coming from this post.  I know if I posted about Day Light Savings time, it would not be positive!

LOL Candy Stevens, EA it's more of an inconvenience and one I don't understand why it still exists.

Kathy, not that excited about losing an hour, but until someone does something about it, we don't have a choice.
