ARGH! bloody argh!
I need a new bloody clock for the bedroom. This is just stupid.I woke up this morning at what I thought was about 8:15 AM. I was tired and cranky that I couldn't sleep anymore, but then again I was up at 5AM wide awake too (or, I guess now I THOUGHT it was 5AM!). Plus my lower back was hurting something fierce so I thought, ok, I'll get up and let the dogs out and feed them. And while feeding the dogs (more on that in the post I was planning on writing this morning) I was looking at the kitchen thinking the sunlight coming in the window was very similar to the photos I took on my first morning here in the house, but then thought well that was sometime after 7AM and now it's almost 9AM.If I had had my camera with me and the kitchen wasn't such a mess (boy does sunlight bring out the smudges on appliances! Yeech!) I would have snapped a photo. You know what else sunlight does? It makes it difficult to see the digital clock on both the microwave and stove. Pretty much invisible.It wasn't until I was down here at the computer, checking email and replying to comments on my blog that the time suddenly caught my eye. 8:18AM? What the hell? How can it only be 8:18AM when I got out of bed at almost 8:30??That's when it hit me. Damn.You know what my stupid clock does? It used to be known as a Smart Clock. It keeps track of where I live, what day and month it is and when to Spring forward and Fall back. Only it's an OLD Clock now and doesn't know that someone who thinks he's all that decided to CHANGE the dates of those Forwards and Backs. My little clock thought that this morning at 2AM it was time to take that leap! To spring with all its might one hour EARLIER!So I did, in fact, get out of bed at 7:30AM this morning, making the sunlight in the kitchen the SAME sunlight from a year ago. Now it's not even nine in the morning and I am up, have had my iced tea, cheese curds and Triscuits for breakfast and am one VERY cranky Cat.Grr. Stupid clock.
