    I can identify with Arlo. I’m usually up about 6 but my Janis has a built in 9 AM alarm that you don’t want to mess with.

    If we stop changing the clocks we won’t loose these things.

    I’m up before sunrise every day without needing an alarm.

    There’s an episode of the cartoon “Teen Titans Go!” after Robin explains daylight saving time, the rest of the team starts searching for the hour lost in March. Very funny.

    I’m with Arlo. I get up early and grateful for a new day. But my glasses are not rose colored.

    I’m that way most of the time! But during rare down times, I miss that me!

    Janis, be thankful. Try living and waking up with a cockeyed pessimist and your daily routine will be to wake up with a miserable mood instilled in you each morning only having to endure hearing the dark side of things for the rest of the day.

    Should be a bestseller, like Wiley’s Dictionary.

    Ahh, she still goes to sleep thinking about him. (Take what they give you and be happy.)

    I’ve got my “alarm” pushed back to 3:45 am already. Should be back to 4:30 around T-day. Dogs do NOT understand time changes.

    For a brief moment, I thought the image in Janis’ dream was Arlo’s obituary after she throttled him. And then I saw the dictionary on the stand…

    If I want to find something, I buy a replacement and it magically appears. If Arlo did that, he’d have two hours now!

    The last 2 days are bordering on bad dad jokes.

    Like Arlo, I am also a bright-eyed optometrist.

    He used to have wake up much earlier than me to go to work. He quit his job in his mid 50s due to burn out while I kept working.

    Neither of us is a lark, we are both owls – but me even more so than him. While we were both working we managed to wake up just early enough to get to work on time. When he quit his job (retired in his 50s?) he started to sleep in with me as I worked for my dad and now for myself (very part time). Bedtime gradually moved later and later.

    Then Covid came along. We started to live on what I call “Covid time”. Stay up until 3 or 4 (or for me 5 or 6)am, sleep until noon or so. That gradually moved sleeping in until 1 or 2 pm as when we did things did not matter as we were not going out other than for short trips for needed items (food/meds) about once a month . We are now trying to get back on a more normal schedule as, if nothing else, there are reenactment events we would like to do, but cannot currently get up, dressed (45 minutes to dress in period clothing), get to the event and setup in time as many events involve being somewhere and setup by 9 or 10 am.
