Did you use your hour wisely or did you squander it?!

The impact of changing clocks forward or back is less for retired folk. We're not generally on a rigid schedule as when we worked for a living. Aside from set appointments involving others and the TV schedule, things are pretty flexible.

For example, I get up in the morning when I wake up and feel like getting dressed. i may or may not eat breakfast sooner or later. I eat lunch when I 'm hungry. Dinner is usually around 7:30PM. We go to bed when we're tired. That could be anywhere from 11:00 to 2:30. Or 10:00 to 1:30. Or 12:00 to 3:30.

I would like the clocks set to permanent DST for the convenience of having more daylight when most people will most enjoy it.

we let it be off by one hour for half the year.

My van will be the same - unless my son borrows it for some reason then he will change it. LOL.
When we got back here on Mon. I reset the bedroom but tnot the micro or toaster oven. One daughter squealed about being late for the airport when she looked at them.

My cell phone is automatic and so any appointment alarms are just fine. they still go off when they should.

I actually got caught myself when getting into the van for the trip back. I wanted to leave at a certain time to hit the Toll Road during a time period when it would be free. So it was a bit of a jolt looking at the clock to see me an hour behind schedule! LOL

and I hadn't and didn't even think about time changes - rarely do. My body goes to bed when tired, gets up when awake - it is never the same time so 1 hour is not going to make a difference iin either direction.
My daughters might feel it a bit more - 2 hours difference to here, 1 hour difference while here, 2 hours difference when going back. LOLOLOL!
