Yah, I know what you mean, David. There have definitely been periods where the "what" of how I was living at least parts of my life fit better with the way my brain works, which I realized even without naming anything about it. Mind, I never figured out how to extend the "what" out enough, but...

I'm just trying to ignore DST. Working from home makes that a thousand time easier. Birdie will get hungry earlier, right? I've taken to giving her one scoop about an hour before actual dinner time so she'll chill the eff out... then feed her the rest at actual dinner time.

Florida voted to stay on DST year-round a long time ago, but the feds never approved it. If Biden would dump time change he would get a big bump in the polls.

Since we don't change, I'm just on Team Pick One(Because the flip is still challenging because of dyscalculia. Which, ironically, pulls the whole thread together like the dude's rug or something.

As a household that gets up at 6am because the school bus comes at 6:38, I am a DST hater. It is much much better here than it was in Southwestern Ohio though.

I think Casper is probably ADHD although she’s only been diagnosed with anxiety. Trying to get her to understand that at a minimum most people’s brains are a little bit weird and you need to figure out how to work with yours to accomplish the things you want in life. Hack your brain, kid!

I'm fine with more sun later in the day. I'm just going to curse at DST for a couple of days until I catch up on sleep.

I kinda like getting up when things are barely starting to get light. Sort of like seeing a secret part of the world for a little bit. Then after I’ve had my coffee, the sun comes up, and the day starts. Plus, for a few days, I feel like staying up late like the cool kids. That part fades as sleep deprivation sets in.

Y'all, I had thoughtful responses and stuff and halfway through the post I had a meeting and now what I was saying doesn't really make sense, so I'll just prairie dog real quick and wave.

Aaagh. Am leaving town Thursday, and texted with a former doggy day care employee who said he would watch the dog for me. He was supposed to come over yesterday to see the place (he said he’d have to stay here, as he moved and his current place doesn’t allow dogs) and called and said he’d gotten called into work (restaurant) because someone called in sick. Nbd, could he come over today? Sure. …he has not responded to any texts today. Like…do I need to panic and find someone else?? Ugh.

Yikes, meara! That is concerning. FWIW, I have found my dog sitters though Rover.com, not sure if they are big in your area, but I have found good sitters there.

I texted him again late last night saying “are we still on for dogsitting??” And he replied Yes….but didn’t say anything about why he hadn’t responded or when he’s going to come over or anything. Arrgh. I don’t want to pay $$$ for Rover (and someone my dog doesn’t know at all) but this is making me v concerned.
