The day after / myLot

St. Catharines, Ontario

November 6, 2023 12:08pm CST

For some stupid reason we set our clocks back an hour between Sat & Sun... Which resulted in too much night and not enough day. It is now 12:55 and the sun is just now trying to make an appearance. It was gloomy up until now. I got up somewhere before 6am because I had had enough sleep. I had oatmeal and yogurt for breakfast plus some fruit, but by 10am I was ready for lunch! So, since it was still morning, I had toast and tea with marmalade. And until the sun broke out, I was beginning to think it was time to go to bed.

By 7 am it was getting light outside. It's 1:20 pm and is 75F outside... It actually feels warmer than that. I hope you're feeling better now.

6 am today was lighter than 6 am yesterday. That's why I like changing my clocks back.

I like what you had to eat though. This time change is not bothering me, but the heat here is.

Should you get up at 5:30 as I do, you would enjoy NOW more day and kids go to school with the light and not in the dark.

I never went to school in the dark, but then, school didn't start until 9am.

@BarBaraPrz Kids must be sitting in their classroom t 8 a.m. here. We even voted to stop the stupidity of DST, the majority of votes were in favor to stop. Well our vote has been ignored.

Takes me up to a week to get used to the difference and I cannot reprogram my cats and all their demands are now one hour earlier than they should be,

It definitely throws us off for sure. I was ready for lunch around the same time.

This whole time changes messes with our body schedules, doesn't it? Grrr. Although I like this one better than the one we have to go through in spring.

I like that one better. It was getting too dark to see without turning on a light today by 3:30.

I pretty much feel the same way. I love the way you summed it up by saying "too much night and not enough day". I hate the transition from the time change.
