Yes, indeedy, it's 'rotate your clocks' time once again...

Why do I hate this time of year? Or, more particularly, the Sunday of?

Well, first off, there's the whole losing an hour of sleep every day thing that is particularly annoying. With both 'spring forward' and 'fall back', my rhythms fall totally out of whack, and it often takes me a week or more to recover.

Then there's the issue of not everyone choosing to reset their clock. So, about half the businesses, and half the channels on tv, are an hour off. This morning, the teriyaki place across the street didn't open until 11:30!! And then I had to wait three times as long for my order as usual, because—of course—they didn't come in a half hour before opening their doors to warm up the cooking surfaces. Every single one of their staff was late.

Sigh.

Finally, this is the time of year that the weather changes significantly enough that my throat dries out, which makes it kinda slightly rough, which makes me want to cough, which of course makes it worse.. Oy!
