Happy Birthday Tommyrot!

I am a DST hater, because I am a morning person. All I am doing in the evening is driving home from work, grocery shopping, or working in a costume shop with no windows! I like to wake up and have it sunshiny for the time before I go to work. But I am such a morning person that I pretty much come home from work, eat dinner, and go to sleep, unless there is something specific for me to do. And then I get up at 4:00 or 4:30.

Also, I still don't understand how it saves energy. Now I have to have the lights on when I am getting ready in the morning.

Eeek, Dana. Can you take some antihistmines in the meantime.

I'm already on a daily antihistamine for allergies (Zyrtec).

I love DST in a selfish way, because I love when it stays light until 8PM, and it seems like this endless twilight.

I'd rather have the evening bright time -- I don't want to do gardening or go walking first thing in the morning, because it is the time that I spend blinking and fighting my way to consciousness.

I'm torn. I really would like the possibility of leaving school while it's still light, but getting up in the morning is doubly hard for me when it's dark out.

Mostly, I just don't like working. Where's my millions?

Happy Birthday, Tommyrot!

I wouldn't mind DST except I had to get up at 7 am (okay, really 8 am, but it felt like 7) to go running with my sister, and that was hard. But I had a good run, even did the extra half-mile with the hills.

However we run weekdays at 6 am, and it was just starting to get light again in the mornings this week, and now with DST it'll be dark dark dark again for a while. I'm tired of having to wear a reflective vest and run in the pitch dark. t whines

This week I get some special training and it will include a tour of a Coast Guard cutter, which I'm looking forward to. On the down side, I'm going to have to drive to work every day because the training is offsite and that will be a hassle.

Mostly, I just don't like working. Where's my millions?

Emily, check your email in a second, please.

On one hand, I hate getting up earlier (shocker, that.) On the other, I prefer more evening light. And right now, I'm congratulating myself on actually getting up much earlier than I did yesterday based on the old time.

I mistook your board name for Cashmere's, and almost nagged you to death for running hills with your back, and since you have the Shingles, which you would, if you were Cashmere, but you don't, since you're Consuela. Oy. Some days I feel the caffeine cutback more than others.

JZ, if you are emailing out millions, my profile addy is good.

Happy Birthday, tommyrot!

When I'm in shape for it, I really really love running hills, because of the downhill swoop which is like flying. Even if you have to pay for it with the uphill grind.

The one piece of published fiction I have (in a local anthology sponsored by the city Arts Council) is about running in the hills. So I guess it's not really fiction... *g*
