We change the clocks this weekend. As much as I don't like the darkness at 5:00 PM, I might feel a bit better that it is not quite so dark when I get up. I feel like I'm dragging myself around until I see daylight.

From this point on, I just count the days until December 22nd when the days start to get longer again.

This time of year, I don't have much energy or motivation to do much of anything. The treadmill is calling out to me, but I've ignored it so far. What about you? Do you turn into a couch potato when there is so little daylight, or does it not make a difference to you?

 

I don't like getting to work and leaving work when it's dark. Don't understand this whole time changing business and why we still need to do it

 

I don't like the shorter days much either.

 

I remember my Dad often saying how he disliked the weekend when we turned back the clocks. I feel as he did. I guess it doesn't matter, you still only get X number of hours of daylight, but until I get more daylight, I'd prefer to hibernate with the bears.

 

With my schedule its get there in the dark and leave in the dark. So I am ready. I do a major happy dance on 12/22 when the days start getting longer.

Also bought my 9 volt batteries to do the annual change in the smoke detectors

 

I don't mind it too much. I do have to realize though that it gets dark much faster once the sun sets. In the summer I have lots of twilight to wash a car in but now, I can start in the light and it'll be quite dark when I finish.

 

I STILL say that we should just keep Daylight Savings Time year round and call it Standard Time.

 

This weekend we get back that hour they took away last March.

 

True....but I still don't have to like it.

 

I'd rather have it darker in the am and not so early in the evening. In Dec. when it is dark here just past 4 pm I have a hard time staying awake much past 8pm. I don't have that problem in the summer when it is light till after 9pm.
