I just got to go through the clock setting again. I woke up yesterday, looked at my nightstand clock and thought, damn, why am I sleeping late? Thought nothing more of it. This morning, same thing. Only as I was putting on my watch after the shower I noticed according to it I wasn’t up yet. Checked the wall clock in the bathroom and nope, still not up. Then it dawned on me.

I remembered having to reset the clocks last month. And last year, too. And I had to set the one on my nightstand even though it’s teeny tiny brain is pre-coded to change times on the correct dates. But thanks to our all-knowing, non-thinking congress, my clock is now obsolete. And oh yeah, there have been some studies that indicate DST actually costs energy. Once again, thank you congress for meddling in my life.
