J18: Whatever

Ah, Monday has come and with it the first work day after the time shift. I hate daylight savings time. When I woke up this morning and the light was shining brightly through the east windows I immediately sensed that I was late. Immensely late. I'm accustomed to rising before dawn, so the whole drive in to work the thought in the back of my head was, "Surely this cannot be the real time..." I wasn't assured of the validity of time until I arrived to a nearly empty parking lot. I think I understand the initial goal of starting the time change, but I don't really think it matters anymore. So now I wake with the sun, and it gets dark way too early. I guess I survive, but it seems stupid. At least it makes my classroom brighter during first block so perhaps my happy little writers are more awake than on the typical Monday. *looks around* Yep, almost ten minutes into journal time and they're all awake, and mostly writing. I always feel bad when I have to make them stop.

On another note, I made my first cherry pie this weekend for the husband's birthday. I heard rumor that it was delightful, but of course I cannot eat it (not a fat thing, it violates the cooked fruit rule). Ah, well. I guess it's time to interrupt the yahoos and see how their journals went.
