A Change of Season

         Daylight Savings Time throws my schedule way off. I can't sleep, then I'm tired all day. The first day is okay, but the second day, I'm goofy and sleepy and moody. Meal times aren't lined up with hunger. Where did my quiet late afternoons go. Now that level of daylight is spent in evening chores. My mornings are freaky. I get up, but feel exhausted, and just can't get moving properly or efficiently. It's like being drugged or sick. How did I manage when I was younger?

         It's warm out, but there are sill big piles of ice by the mailbox, on sidewalk junctures, parking spaces and the side of the driveway. Winter is not scurrying away. But the vegetation suspects something. Early pollen is out, and some folks are sniffling and taking their allergy drugs. The gardeners have their seeds in the indoor boxes to sprout.

         Indoor temperatures are both cool and hot, as personalities clash, pass the blame, and lash out. Maybe the testiness is from being cooped up inside for too long. Maybe they're just nasty people. Hopefully, the warmer outside weather, and some flowers and tree buds, will have a positive effect inside, too.
