Did you "spring forward"?

That hat is just too small. Break to her easy.
I'm in fucking Arizona, we don't do that shit.
I fell back, and, despite my having issues with wakefulness, especially in the morning, this time around, it actually worked pretty well, and I think that my "decision" to wake up in the middle of the night to search for my copy of Marian Engel's Bear and look through my room, the living room bookshelf, and the basement for it before eventually finding it around 1 AM.

Changing clocks twice a year is the dumbest thing ever. People talk about daylight saving time as giving us "more daylight" in the summer time. No, it doesn't. There are the same number of hours of daylight on a given day regardless of what we demand the time should be on the clocks. That's too scientific for people to understand, I suppose. In California, we can vote this year on a proposition on whether the state legislature can pass a law to keep daylight saving time all year round. I hope that happens. It's about damn time. -Teresa

Most people in most modern societies regulate their daily cycles by the clock, not the rising and setting of the sun. Daylight saving time does not lengthen daylight, but it shifts the clock during the summer to make the typical times when people are awake and using electricity better coincide the hours of daylight. Hence the “saving” portion of daylight saving time. Arguably with the reduction in importance of the 9-5 industrial workers schedule, and advent of flex schedule the value of daylight saving time is diminished.

Most people, save infants and shift workers perhaps, sleep after the sun goes down and perform their daily activities when the sun is up. Our bodies are physically wired to power down at nighttime. The amount of daylight people get also depends on the latitude they live on. Clocks are a human construct, there's no two ways about it. -Teresa
