When you’re done it should look like you pushed your clock through the wall, not like somebody threw at at your house like a Frisbee. I have to go sharpen my knife. Good thing I bought that Ginsu knife set a while ago! -D/a ---

Our clocks are all reset and good to go, but the idiot dog’s stomach is still on EST - usually she starts barking at me around 3:30, even tho feeding time is 4:30. Today, it started a little after 2. I don’t know how long until she resets, but I may have to kill her before then. She has a sharp, annoying bark that really pierces the eardrum. Stoopit dog. ---

> [@Bookkeeper](#): > > I just finished resetting our clocks. By my count, we have 24 clocks and devices with clocks in them, of which 16 need to be set manually, 7 reset automatically, and 1 doesn’t work so who cares. I may have missed a few. Jeez, man. I have four. Cell phone and computer adjust themselves automatically, alarm clock has a switch for DST that I just flip, and then there’s the microwave. ---

I only have four too…computer and phone change themselves, alarm clock I did manually, can’t figure out the one in the van. Oh wait, the coffee maker - I did that the day before. The microwave has been blinking since 2008, and I can’t figure that out either so it can stay blinking. My dogs also need to adjust. This morning I bounced out of bed at 6 am - which is their 5 am - and they were like, _sweet_! We get to eat breakfast NOW, already? And I was able to get in a nice hour-long walk with them before heading off to work, since it’s light an hour earlier. Then I got home mid-afternoon and they were bouncing around wondering where dinner was, already. ---

\*So \*depressing. The semi-official start of winter. Now I get up in the pitch-black night and come home from work in the pitch-black night. I don’t even bother opening my curtains till the weekend.
