Today was 'spring forward' day when we set our clocks ahead one hour, supposedly at 2:00am, but really, who waits til 2:00am. We're already losing sleep. even though we try going to bed an hour early so we still get enough sleep. That's a nice idea but if you're accustomed to falling asleep at 11:00pm, even if your wonder spouse has set all the clocks ahead, your body knows that it's not really bedtime.
As a result of this 'spring forward' business, It was dark when I got up this morning and I've been sleepy all day.
Attendance at Sunday school and church seemed a little sparse but that could have been because it has been a lovely sunny day and I'm not the only one suffering from EOSF. It's a highly contageous condition.
I did see one lady walking into church while we were singing the last hymn. She doesn't have a wonder spouse to take care of things like setting clocks ahead for her.
My west coast brother has an interesting theory about the twice a year time changes. He says that the time changes induce something similar to jet lag and keep us from focusing on election day in the fall and taxes due in the spring. He doesn't think that the timing is a coincidence and he may be right.
But enough speculation about why it happens. Tomorow morning I will face my biggest challenge - setting my car clock ahead. I know I can do it, and I know it's a simple process. It's just remembering the process that's the challenge.
