New Proposed DST change rules

OK, this is BS. Why, WHY are we wasting our extra and short hours in the middle of the f’ing night?

I propose these new simple rules:

• First Friday of March at 3:15pm we spring forward one hour thus shortening our work day on that Friday.
• First Friday of November Fall back one hour at 7:00pm thus giving us an extra hour on Friday evening to play or to just go to bed early and catch up on sleep.

With these new rules it will help with the, I’m so f’ing tired this morning I can’t function on that Monday after spring forward. Likely I won’t be able to function properly until at least Wednesday evening.. If I get enough coffee.

How did that happen?

This morning I took Jonah to daycare as usual, we parked the van and he had to walk through the snow (le neige) on our way into the daycare.

His group, le Papillon, were getting ready to go to the washroom. We hung up his coat, he gave me a hug and a kiss and as his group sped off he joined them. They were all jumping and laughing.

The sight of him being a little boy with all of ses amis était belle et joyeuse.

Notre fils, il est beau. Our son is beautiful and it makes my heart joyous.
