I hate Daylight Savings Time.
I need to apologize if any of this post is incoherent (or at least more so than normal). But I didn't sleep well last night. I go through this every year.
To begin with I did not get to bed till late. Then, at 2:00 AM the alarm goes off so I can dutifully set the clocks back as instructed on the news.
With all the electronic gadgetry we all own that takes nearly 45 minutes. So I have just gone back to sleep when the alarm goes off again! Which makes sense, because it is once more 2:00.
Now I don't know what to do. It seems logical that if I keep setting the clocks back I will end up in an endless loop. I finally convince myself that I am OK in just doing it the one time, but by then almost another hour has passed and the uncertainty of it all keeps me from getting into that deep REM sleep where I can have those dreams I enjoy - the ones with Julia Roberts getting the academy award for Best Costume for an Actress Portraying a British Monarch in the Nude. (Unfortunately it is usually a production of Henry VIII where the special effects folks nail it).
And for all this I am convinced that the extra hour of sunlight all summer is one of the things that has been giving me problems with my lawn.
