I’m up as well. Way to early.

Listen to what your body is telling you! Stay in bed. Best time of year. Cool and dry, great colors and fall baseball!

I concur - I'm surprised when I look at the clock and it's much later than usual

I’m with Paul. Stay in. Listen. Meditate. Think positive thoughts.

It happened so quickly! I still loll for a bit, it's harder to get up and run which is the part I don't like. Still, we did wake up and we still remember the lyrics!

Have coffee in bed!

I still wake up but don't feel like getting up. I am still not sure clocks should be moved back and fourth. Pick one and keep it. I see more traffic on the Southern State heading east because of sun glare and people slowing down.

5:30?? I stopped there. Never happens for me unless I am leaving on a jet plane. . .

That’s why I’m always first comment on your blog

Lol, Im so with Rona on this one...sleep in or at least rest more :)

I'm looking forward to Nov. 3rd. Of course, we could all move to the Land of the Midnight sun. FACT: Less depression with more light. Hence...Let there be light. Also, don't knock sleep. It's nature's greatest healer.

Okay Derf . You are way overthinking this manufactured dilemma . Snap out of it for God’s sake . You are supposed to be luxuriating in the “Afterlife. “ I get my lifestyle tips from the animals . You think they be moaning and groaning that it’s too dark ? It must be climate change . Yeah that’s it . We humans shouldn’t have to put up with all this seasonal darkness at 6 AM . There must be something we can do to beat back Mother Nature on this . Perhaps speed up the earth’s rotation by emitting more fluorocarbons in the direction of the earth’s rotation ? Oh ... but that would be counter productive to the greenhouse effect and presumably cause the Sun to shine on the moon . But I heard the tides would over react . Do you think a squirrel lolls awhile in bed waiting for “ let there be light ?” Me ? One of a few things .I lay quietly and listen to the animals stir. All windows and sliders are wide open regardless of the weather. I listen . And beyond that I don’t have a plan . The dogs usually decide the schedule or not . The roosters crow at about 3AM . Now THAT encroaches on my psyche .
