Does it seem funny that, at this point, Daylight Savings is completely taken care of for most of us? My phone adjusts automatically - as do all phones. My computer magically knows the same, the cable box too. The only clock in my life that I have to adjust is the one in my car - which is 18 years old and by industry standards a dinosaur (that I'd have no other way, to be clear). It seems on the verge of being an outdated standard, to my mind - the hour ahead and back has never so much affected how I wake up, and since it changes on a Sunday, most of us just find that we've woken up a little later than normal. Without all the hustle and bustle of changing clocks, what good is Daylight Savings anyway?
Something of note - I am so incredibly productive on weekends when I don't work. If I have Friday and Saturday off, I'm going to get so much done and feel so much better about myself. It's not just spring break that did it, either: there's just a really comforting availability of about 15 daylight hours that is not normally there. For the first time in a while, I feel caught up, even ahead, and as if I can make it through the next couple of weeks of classes with some amount of aplomb.
Today I've had the fun of doing things I wouldn't normally have time and energy to do, too. I've made some French bread loaves for later, given the dog a bath, gotten good feedback on my editing project, gone grocery shopping, and experimented with Brian's fabulous camera and gorgeous lenses. Now if only I can think of summer as being an extended vacation (yes, which it is) and not a breeding ground for my craziness, I could have days like these all the time.
