Believe it or not, I am looking forward to the commencement of daylight saving time in March.
Yes, my alarm clock has been one hour ahead of schedule for nearly a year. I never changed it. Perhaps it was a mechanism to keep me on my toes in the wee hours when I awake and wonder what time it actually is? Perhaps it was laziness that kept the clock on permanent DST? No. It was merely the fact that every time I change the time on it, I end up setting one of the two alarm features and creating a new problem. I just gave up on it.
Oh, I could get a new clock, however, I now use the alarm on my phone in the rare instance I need one. The little mental math I enjoy every morning keeps me alert pre-coffee. It’s just one of my little tests to keep my mind functioning at peak performance!
Now we head on to the NYT puzzle! Much more enjoyable and less a reminder of my idiocy.
