Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Springing Forward
Daylight Savings stinks.Rather than lose an hour of scrapping time this weekend, I sacrificed an hour of sleep. And since my sleep schedule will be out of whack for the next week, I figured I would take the opportunity to move back my wake-up time by almost an hour to 6:30 am. Get an earlier start on the day and maybe start getting home at a more reasonable hour.
It seemed like a good idea until the alarm went off this morning and I found it nearly impossible to get out of bed. I hit the snooze button repeatedly and stumbled through the dark to the bathroom where I showered with only half the usual lighting. While blindly pulling clothes out of the closet, I turned the TV on for a weather check. Imagine then my surprise when the weather man announced that it was 6:41 am and not the 7:41 I was expecting. I collapsed into bed out of exhaustion, frustration, and protest.
I stayed in bed for nearly an hour. How on earth did I manage to move the clock forward an extra hour? And just how much sleep have I had in the last three days? Certainly not more than 16 hours. I still can't believe that I was up at 5:30 this morning for no good reason.
