I can relate, Skibby, only in my case it's my alarm clock. I'll have to stop automatically subtracting an hour when I look at the time.

I missed the time change last fall (or was it last spring?) I had started going "electronics free" on Sundays and Wednesdays. No Internet, no iPod, no television. Those are my two unplugged days. I will check my email, just in case anyone sent me a "real" email with family/friends news; I'll talk on the phone, read a book, or watch a DVD. But mostly I just stay away from anything with a computer function for those two days a week. I totally forgot about the time change that year and was so confused on Monday. I thought the computer was going bad. I remember it this year and got everything moved up an hour before I went to bed Saturday night. I have a desk clock that needs a new battery, and I've not been out to the car yet, but everything else is all good. - Bedroom alarm clock - Bathroom night light clock - Sewing room wall clock - Desk clock, waiting for a battery - Kitchen wall clock - Kitchen microwave(s) - Don't ask. - Kitchen stove - Kitchen timer - House phone; it didn't change itself? - Coffee maker - Three wrist watches - Vintage watch face that's still waiting for me to find the perfect strap for. Our two cell phone, two iPods, two atomic weather stations, and the computer set themselves. I have way too many clocks. I wish the oven, microwaves, coffee pot, and house phone did not have clocks. I'm one of those people that are driven mad if the clocks don't all show the correct time, at the same time.

Changing the clocks doesn't bother me at all. But I intensely dislike Daylight Saving Time. Seems like the day never ends when it doesn't get dark until almost 10 o'clock at night. I do understand why working people like it, though. For reasons I can no longer remember, (if I knew them at the time), Texas stayed on DST all winter. It was awful for the kids, going to school in pitch dark! And I think of that whenever year 'round DST is discussed. I would think adults could deal with less daylight in the evenings if it meant greater safety for the kids. One friend of mine said she likes DST because she doesn't like driving home from work in the dark. How is that worse than driving to work in the dark? Plus, my body operates on Standard time all year, regardless of what the clocks say. Rusty

I just read that the Senate approved a bill to make DST permanent beginning next year. Hope that is true. Especially if it makes daylilies happy :)
