Spring loaded and ready to bounce.
Your distress has been heard. We have arrived to offer assistance.(USPD/Commons.wikimedia.org)
Why the rush to become basket cases?
Blame pollen. When fresh air is contaminated, brains struggle.
Sleep, the only remedy so, of course, powers-that-bee decided to add another stinger with Daylight Savings Time. With that manipulation, ALL certainly require saving: both day and night.
Although Night Saving Time seems to be less popular.
Possibly due to fear of after hours at the ATMs in large cities.
And add to that all the talk of springs. Another example of seasonal addled thinking. Who uses springs anymore?
Everyone has fallen into memory foam.
Which, if memory serves well, is quite the snooze zone.
And snoozing is what We, in Our catnip mousie haze infinite wisdom, feel all should be practicing in preparation for the annual marching madness to try and dictate to internal clocks when breakfast should occur.
It is not hard. Sun up. Time to eat.
Some cannot leave well enough alone. It is still a mystery why such a species was given the thumbs.
Dunderheads. Time: a fool’s tool. Sunny spots need no instruction as to when it is appropriate to appear..©
As a kindness, there to your left, are piles of fleece. One per individual. (We said ONE! Thank you. Yes, of course you were getting it for another…)
Settle into a comfortable position and We shall wander among you – offering a neck massage here and a shoulder kneading there to help with relaxation and release of stress.
WHAT? How dare you mumble about not wanting to be itchy from fleece.
Our fleece are high quality blankies washed with great care so the wrappee may Dreft off to Lullasigh Land.
“He who lies down with fleece get up rested as a dog.” A famous line. Someone said that.
Now Yoda-like breathing: small and wise. Shhhh.
Do not worry. The Realm is equipped with HEPA air filters.
Pay no mind to the dog hair tumbleweeds attached to the machine. Simply adds an extra filtration layer.
Upon waking, the fleece is not a souvenir for Savings Times meditations. Staff stands by door with two hands waiting: one for fleece and one for your Tribute of Thanks.
Do not risk it. (USPD/Commons.wikimedia.org)
Do not neglect to leave the open can of cat food in the doorway as tribute .
Especially after Our kindness in your Time of Needless Saving.
Be mindful.
Mindful we know where you blog and where your shoes are…
We took notes as you napped. And a couple of shoes we found cozy.
Barefooting it is back to nature. You’ll thank Us.
I am RC Cat and I approve this message.

What? Daylight saving time? Lemme go look.
Sure enough. When i click my little clock at the bottom of my screen, there’s a prim little announcement that my clock WILL be changed this coming Sunday. I wish they would stop with the foolishness, already. It takes me over a week to adjust when we go one way or the other, but now I can’t remember if it’s spring or fall that gives me problems. I guess I’ll find out this weekend.

We are ready for DSL in this house. It’s light early so the cats, who work on natural light, are up and ready for breakfast before we are. (They get very noisy about it too!) Maybe with the reset this weekend, we’ll all get up at the same time? Nope, probably not.

My feeling is Daylight Savings Time, if it needs to exist at all which I think not, should not be implemented until later in Spring. Come Monday morning children will be navigating in the dark trying to get their buses. Adults will be struggling to awake in the dark after several weeks of arising to sunshine. It makes no sense to me they extended it as they did. RC, a six pack of open cans as tribute…if you “can” do anything to bring some sanity to time that would be a good time indeed.

To make it more confusing, not everyone goes on DST. I know Arizona doesn’t. Makes it harder for me to remember when i can safely call my parents. 🙂 It amuses me to read about people who thing there’s more daylight during DST. Sigh. But I’m ready to spring ahead this weekend. As for falling on memory foam, I think not. That stuff is hard until you’ve already been on it for a bit and I would avoid falling on it if at all possible.
