Falling Back....

...for Daylight Saving Time (I've always called it Savings, but I have only very recently learned that that's incorrect) has messed with me yet again.  When it gets dark at 4:30, it just seems....wrong.  When I was growing up in Indianapolis, we never changed our clocks.  The only thing that changed was TV time, so instead of, say, Johnny Carson being on at 10:30 in the summer and my sibs and I  being  allowed to stay up to watch it because we didn't have to go to school, once the TV time changed with DST and Ed McMahon said his "Heeeeere's Johnny!" at 11:30, that put the kibosh on us being able to stay up and watch.  After all these years of changing the clocks, I'm still not used to it.  Ah, well....if this is my biggest problem, then I'm doing okay :-)

Speaking of doing okay, I am.  I've eased back in to looking at the news, but I'm not immersed in it.  I jumped back into the fray after the elections on Tuesday (we didn't vote on anything here, but I was ready!) and it was a very hopeful feeling to see that across the country in states I never would have imagined, people have put their collective feet down about some issues, mainly abortion, which made me breathe just a tad easier.  It remains to be seen where our country heads when next year comes and we go to the polls for this incredibly hugely important presidential election, but for a moment, it's given me, and I imagine a whole slew of folks, a little peace of mind.

Not an earth-shattering blog today.  I just felt like writing something after a scattered can't-concentrate-on-work kind of day. It's Friday, it's dark, it's cold, it's early evening, I'm awaiting the arrival of my wonderful partner (he's going to pick up pizza fixins), and I just thought I'd put some words to....gee, I was going to say paper, but that's clearly wrong....to my blog and wish you a merry and beautiful whatever you might be doing as you read this.  And if you need a hug, consider yourself hugged from me.

Desperately needed a car wash today.  Isn't this cool?
