Day 15 It’s 2021. Why are we still changing the clocks?
Does anyone else hate the two time changes we go through each year? My husband smiles at my moans & sighs, at my trying to get ready for the time changes. He’s one of the lucky ones that just changes the clock and his body adjusts like magic.
Well, I could use some of that magic! It usually takes me over a week to stop feeling groggy and off-kilter from the clock changes. (You should see the wreck I am when we have to get up super early to catch a morning flight. It is NOT pretty!) Not only was getting up this morning hard, but I didn’t really want to eat breakfast. And I ALWAYS eat breakfast!
To be clear, all time changes knock me for a loop. My sister lives on the west coast. The only visit where I wasn’t awake at their 4 am was the one where I stayed three weeks after my niece was born. Finally in week two I started to feel more human, other than the infant crying me awake every few hours. By week three I was fully in west coast time, and then I had to leave and fly back home.
If we could just have a two hour delay the Monday after the time change, I think it would be okay. Or at least better! A one hour delay? Just inch into that time change….
That’s all I can handle today. I’d go take a nap, but I have to go to bed at 9:30. (It’s really 8:30!)

Isn’t it interesting how some people like you are so sensitive to a single hour time change, and others, like my son-in-law, handle a 12 hour change with relative ease?!
I love the expression, “Knock me for a loop.” I haven’t heard it in awhile. You have a nice breezy, casual, engaging writing style here.

I’ve been told before my writing style is casual. I guess I own that!
And I’m jealous of those who handle time changes with ease!

It takes me time to adjust too. I can’t even imagine adjusting from the west coast!

The time change doesn’t usually bother me but last night I had a terrible time sleeping. Hoping tonight is better after some after school yoga.

The time change also throws me for a loop. I love daylight savings time, but it does take some adjusting to get through the change.

I do not understand the time change at all! I am happy to see you wrote about this today!
