I look at as though an hour of sleep was stolen from me last night. I’ll get it back in November. ---

Ugh… sorry, no **time** to read right now. Lost an hour last night. I’m putting off everything for an hour trying to catch it back. It’s so fleeting. 😀 ---

I am retired. Screw it. The dog and the cats don’t know about Daylight Savings. I changed the clocks around Noon. So little happens to me that others may be envious of I just wanted to brag. ---

Well it messes up my routine. I have to slowly acclimate my dietary/med needs to fit what the clock says. So at least I’m not eating lunch at 10:30 or dying from low glucose after my bolus insulin. Actually my dogs are the same. Their hunger/potty time starts at the same time it did yesterday. The clock is just lying. ---

Aha! So that’s why the time on my computer is different from the time on my stove and microwave clock! (When you’re retired, it’s hard to keep track of things like time changes, or what day of the week it is, or sometimes what month it is! 😃) ---
