Finally Daylight Savings Time ended. Phew! It has been so difficult to wake up in the mornings, we were literally waiting for this weekend, when we can start afresh and new, get up bright and early. There was a time when I used to wake up at 4AM or 5AM, wee hours of the morning, and DH could be an alarm clock up and awake at 5:45AM sharp. Since we moved residences and with some other life changes, we have been waking up at *gulp* 7AM! I get to work at around 9AM and am still one of the first to arrive, thats a different story.
All of last week, DH used to make me double up with laughter when he said every night, that the next morning he would be up at 5 to hit the gym or the running trail. The next morning, not quite a surprise, DH slept with me at well past 6. I told him, that he can wait for the time change and all will be well, but he just wouldn't listen. Now for a man of low expectations, this was very unlike him. :--D So finally he ended up getting up early to run on Sunday, the day the time change happened. :--D I made good use of the hour, working, :--S.
So today I was up and awake at 5:45, which was 6:45 old time, body takes awhile to get used to, which I didn't want to happen. DH was still sleeping of course, while I picked and prodded and forced his eyes open, to get up early. Plus DH had to be at a conference today close to my work. By 7:20 we were out of the house. And we got to use the carpool lane! Oh the simple joys of waving bye to the bumper to bumper cars while we zoomed past. I was at work at 8AM. It felt so good!!
So perks of getting to work early -
* Less crowd in the Cafe, no long lines
* More free fruit choices
* Closer Parking spot
* A full two hour lead on others, time to leisurely catch up with work,emails
* My most productive time is actually spent doing useful work instead of sitting amidst traffic.
I am one happy duckling today. |

Seriously, you are the first person I know, who likes the standard time. I always wait for summer and invariably get depressed the first few days of this change.
And getting up at 6:00?? Wow !! As Sachita said, romba ovr.. :)
-
Really? The joy is shortlived dont you think? Soon, it will be dark when we leave and dark when we get back. Feels like life is happening in a dark medium :(
