Winter TIME

Does Daylight Savings Time mess up your routine? I have the hardest time adjusting to it. Just when my body is starting to get used to the fewer daylight hours, the government goes and changes the clock on me! Lately I've been having a hard time staying awake until 9:00 PM and then my eyes snap open at 3:30 AM. It takes about an hour for me to convince myself to go back to sleep and then at 5:00 AM I have to drag myself out of bed.

You might think that my being retired from working and living on a homestead would allow me to ignore the clock, just get up and go to bed when I want. But there are doctor appointments to keep as well as church services and meetings to attend. For now, if I have an evening event to attend, my chickens are on lock down because the rabbit cages are in their run and I have to keep nighttime predators away. Nighttime is 6:30 pm!

I guess you could say I am not a fan of Daylight Savings Time. Or maybe I'm just cranky due to lack of sleep.
