Double DAMN!!!
We have to Spring forward on Sunday. Man I hate losing that hour every spring. IT takes me a week or more to get my body readjusted.

3. I used to like it less
when I worked Saturday nights, one hospital I worked at actually docked us an hour's pay that night.

It sure comes faster and faster each year.

10. I've been really busy, too
That may be it. I'm not sure, I think the years are getting shorter the older I get. :P

7. Yeah, but the daylight lasts longer
Way worth it.

My favorite part of spring is watching the days get longer. Love it.

8. It is cool to watch the sun get higher in the sky
I also like seeing the trees start to leaf out. When they start all you see is what looks like a light green fog around the trees. And in a few days you have a full canopy of leaves.

9. I guess I'm photosensitive or something
I'm always pre-adjusted. But, living where I do, I don't have curtains on my windows and simply adjust my internal clock to the seasons and changing light. Never use an alarm clock either.

11. It sure does screw up your circadian rhythms!
But oh how I LOVE that extra hour of daylight! LOVELOVELOVE! I do believe that spring is my favorite season: all the fresh, tender green leaves and flowers everywhere, plus the mockingbird sings all night and I don't want to go to sleep 'cause he's so wonderful to hear...It's a grand season and the longer days are a huge part of it.

:D

:bounce:
