Monday Morning

November 10, 2021

It's Wednesday now, but I thought I'd share my Monday morning thoughts since I know I'm not the only sufferer....

It's Monday morning. At least I think it is. Yep--just checked my phone. It's Monday. I should know that. I remember going to church yesterday, which would make it Sunday. But my brain seems to be working in slow-motion.

What's going on? I slept well last night. But I woke up feeling drugged. I took a nap, but it didn't help. Am I coming down with the flu?

No, I've come down with adjusting to the time change-itis. My own personal Day of the Living Dead.

I thought that I had escaped the misery this year. I felt fine all day Sunday. Of course, it was an easy going day--church, lunch out, playtime with my grandson.

But it hit me this morning. Hard. And I have work to do.

I'm very grateful that it's a sunny day­­­­­. We recently had a string of cloudy days and adding in my minor version of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) would only compound my misery.

Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow. But I can never tell.

The politicians who are dragging their feet about getting rid of this pointless business of changing the clocks twice a year, clearly don't suffer these problems. (A good example of my brain funk--I had to look up the spelling of politician. No matter how I spelled it, it didn't look right.)

Could someone please develop a pill that would cause every single person who is apparently immune, to suffer these symptoms?

I bet everyone would make a decision about whether to keep "normal" time or daylight savings time pretty darn quick.

    I'd be tempted, but I'm too settled where I am!

    You need to move to Arizona or Hawaii. They don't do the Daylight Savings Time there because it wouldn't change anything there for them. Lucky ducks, huh?

    Ouch! True!

    Some of the problem is that politicians frequently can't see by the light of day anyway!
