S Is For Sleep, Short and Sweet (A to Z Blogging Challenge 2015)

Too many late nights mean the post today is short and sweet—and I can’t think of anything shorter than Haiku or Limerick—or more fun.

Sleep Limerick

Each night I’ve been unable to sleep.
I’ve tried warm milk and counting sheep.
Without some rest soon
I’ll go looney-tunes
And fall right off into the deep!

 

When I walked Bandit this morning I thought of a really cute Limerick—but I didn’t take paper and pen—and of course it’s hiding from my mind now.

This blog post is my contribution to the A to Z Blogging Challenge 2015, in which bloggers from around the world representing every skill level and interest, blog every Monday through Saturday during the month of April, using the letters of the alphabet as their inspiration. Tomorrow is T,  and as usual,  I'm clueless as to what I might write about....

Falling Back

It's that time of year again: The return to Standard Time. Daylight Savings Time is a "short-timer."  I love falling back.  I love the extra hour of sleep. I wouldn't mind falling back every month...except for one thing--not all of my clocks are consistent. Some times they adjust themselves. Sometimes they wait for me to adjust them. Sometimes they adjust themselves at different times of the day. And once, my atomic clock adjusted itself a week later! So, every time change I'm up at 2 am making note of which clock has gone through the change, and which has not. Periodically (throughout the next day and sometimes week), I recheck all the clocks, and finally, when I think they are through changing. I change the stubborn ones...only to have them change afterward!

So much for being able to sleep an extra hour--but the intent is a really good one.
