Daylight Saving Time
Spring forward…lose an hour…gain more sunlight at the end of the day. Why we’re still doing this is a mystery. It was so nice to forget it was a thing when I was in college in Arizona. Also, why does it have to change at 2 in the morning? On a Sunday? At least make it on a Saturday so you get an extra weekend day to adjust. It’s all weird and I wish you all luck as your clocks steal an hour from you this weekend.
Your "Spring Forward" avatar is cute! I hate it too. It takes me a few days to adjust.
