Had me going for a moment there. I thought both my phone and my computer would try to update and wasn't sure if they had.
Over here it's the last weekend in March , not this weekend.

DST is pretty painless in the hospital

My husband changed some, but not all, of the clocks. When I got up, I changed them too. O_o

Maybe the nurses were friendlier since their shift last night was an hour less?

the missing hour screws up your medication schedule

Woke up at 6:50 this morning and it looked like 4:50 outside. Tomorrow morning is going to suck.

Beeps is already pulling the "I don't take a bath until after sundown" tactic....

Kids will be impossible to put to bed tonight. The four-year-old is still sleeping right now.

pplains, Sunday, 9 March 2014 17:22 (ten years ago) link

But I get SUNSHINE on my after work runs. Sorry about your kids.

Jeff, Sunday, 9 March 2014 17:23 (ten years ago) link

Yes!!!! Can't they move it to April or May? Wasn't it in April or May?

*tera, Sunday, 9 March 2014 18:35 (ten years ago) link

I think it used to be early April. DST got extended in 2007 so there'd be four extra weeks of it.

I know, right? Also,

Wyoming Senator Michael Enzi and Michigan Representative Fred Upton advocated the extension from October into November especially to allow children to go trick-or-treating in more daylight.[11]

And yet, it's still dark anyway when trick-or-treaters come by. Great plan.

DST is an important milestone for us with extreme seasonal depression. It's something to look forward to, it gives us hope.

DST is an important milestone for us with extreme seasonal depression. It's something to look forward to, it gives us hope.

Since Sunday I've felt a marked change for the better. I had an immediate improvement in my outlook and I've been doing things I want/need to do each evening and day instead of barely hanging on. A lot of important and fun shit has gone undone since December.

a girl with colitis (Je55e), Wednesday, 11 March 2015 12:09 (nine years ago) link

I would be all for making DST the year-round standard. Standard time is needlessly difficult, especially for those of us on the very eastern edge of a time zone. Sunset at 4:15 is bad and if it's cloudy, it can get fully dark by 3:30. That's really hard for me.

a girl with colitis (Je55e), Wednesday, 11 March 2015 12:13 (nine years ago) link

Only 7 more days until the sun sets at 7:00 PM.

Jeff, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 12:42 (nine years ago) link

ugh I hate the waking up difficulty. I was popping out of bed no problem at 6:30, and now it is such a fucking chore even if I give myself until 7:30!

That said, I bought some pansies and today I'm gonna put those bitches in a pot, so gardening season begins today!

the number of car accidents climbs 17 percent during the first week after the clocks spring forward

DST is killing people!

mookieproof, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 12:57 (nine years ago) link

I guess it there still being sunlight when I get home from work is fun, but that's more than offset by the fact that I have to wake up while it's still dark, which is a horrible way to start a day

silverfish, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 13:11 (nine years ago) link

If they waited another month, as they used to do, the dark mornings would be as pronounced.

pplains, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 13:36 (nine years ago) link

Wow, I feel all that SAD just evaporating! Thanks, 7-11!
