Stupid daylight savings.

Yeah, it might have practical advantages.  But it can really mess up my timing.  I was waking up at about 13:00 lately, almost no matter when I go to bed.  From 9:00 this morning to midnight the night before to 3:00 the day before that, with or without alarms, right at 13:00 I pop out of bed, unable to sleep more and relatively rested.  I have to be somewhere at 14:00 tomorrow, and thought that pushing my wake time by an couple of hours would be rough but doable.  That load just got a little heavier.  Oh, I'll do it, I think.  It's just, it will simply be just a bit more difficult.

I seem to be sleeping well, getting rest, but it's just odd.  My controls are mushy.  The alarm clocks have a limited impact and I can't seem to get control over when I go to bed.  I simply can't sleep until I do.  At least it isn't, for the most part, degrading my waking time.  I AM a bit sluggish when awake, but my thinking is reasonably clear and I can do some things.  Not all bad, just not... superior, or even great.  This will happen.  And I have had and am partially maintaining a vastly better life.  If this is the new temporary low, I can live with that.  If I am hoping for a hell of a lot more.  And I think it will come.

Muscle is staying fit, mind is working, something just isn't quite firing.  I think, or to my perceptions, we have been having more cloudy and otherwise overcast days.  Today is a fine exception though, or at least it has been since I woke.  I try to soak in these days and just limp by on the other days.  It has been getting warm enough for Sam to venture forward a few times a day, if for very short runs so far.  I think she wants in as much for the cold as for other critters.  With snow still covering a good chunk of her territory, she can't just... sneak away into the terrain.  So... I cater to her.  I know she is dying for the times where she can play outside most of the day, even to be fed out there if she likes.  Me too, if this spring, so far, seems better than last somehow, too?  More sun, I think?  Or just better health and much more function.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
