Everyone says that one will get an extra hour of sleep.
So why am I still up at dark-thirty?

Because you can sleep in that extra hour in the morning. đ

I put daylight into my savings account every year yet I still end up with less daylight every time it ends. I think this whole thing is a scam.

Nope, today, November 1 across the U.S. Why would California be an exception?

Yeah, I looked at the one timepiece in my apartment that does not automatically change, âItâs five oâclock, good enough.â Turns out it was four oâclock and the store didnât have the Sunday papers yet.

The thing I hate living in Arizona is, we donât change our clocks for daylight time, so some of the TV networks go an hour earlier when DST starts, then go an hour later when it ends, meaning I have to adjust my DVR if I have a recurring program set to record. Yeah, I know. First World problem, right?

More good news: tomorrow is statistically one of the most dangerous days to drive because of the time change throwing peopleâs sleep off.

When I was a kid in Saskatchewan (another âno DSTâ zone), it was kind of nice because prime time television either started at 7:00 p.m. or 6:00 p.m.; if prime time started super-early, then you could watch late night shows like David Letterman or âSaturday Night Liveâ and still get a full nightâs sleep.

cat was up, therefore I is.
master of the house wins.
he sits there on top of me and paws at my faceâŚclaws come out if not responsive at the first few pawsâŚI EAT NOW \*ITCH
adding⌠my clock radio time is perpetually wrong so whatever its set at I either add or subtract depending on the time switch
no use setting the correct time because either a storm comes thru and shuts down the power or the husband is always working on different electrical situationsâŚ

I look forward to it getting dark earlier. One of the best parts of daylight savings time ending.

Your dog must have texted my cats. đ They were dying of starvation at 4:30 this morning. So, my extra hour was spent awake. It works out, though. One really rough day, and Iâll be adjusted by Tuesday, I hope.
Twice a year, I wish that somehow, some way, we could settle on a time and stick with it. _sigh_
