You can change the clocks, but it takes the body a few days to adapt to the sudden change to daylight forever in the evening and pre-dawn in the morning.
Needless to say, I slept late by DST standards. Tomorrow will probably be horrible, getting up in the pitch dark again. And once again I have the rising-sun-in-the-left-eyeball to look forward too.
Oh well, it's for eight months. During the WWII years the country was on "War Time" the year around.
I leave my car clock on DST year round because it is such a royal pain to change it. (I have to find the instruction book first.) And I never changed the electric clock in the office room last fall. Now it's right again. I don't face it when I'm on the computer. If I want to know the time I just look down at the corner of the screen.
Speaking of my car, I had a pleasant surprise last week. Apparently there is a leak in the power steering system, since it started grunting again about 2-3 weeks ago. When I stopped at the shop the guy put some more fluid in, and said it was probably a leak.
Last week the groaning began again, but I couldn't figure out when I'd be able to get the car in for work. So, I bought some power steering fluid, then crossed my fingers that I'd find the correct place to put it. What a pleasant surprise--Ford has it labelled in big yellow letters, with pictures of how full the reservoir should be. So now I can put off that little job for a while.
Worst case scenario would be the loss of power steering, but that would not disable the car--I'd just have to work a bit harder on the turns. Probably the first twenty or so years of my driving life were sans power steering.
Emma is coming into the house a bit more. CC is going outside to play a bit more. Keeping track of who is where is interesting, to say the least. At the moment Fabian is snoring on the papasan and CC is sitting on a bookcase. I don't know where the other two are--just that they aren't in the office room.
Tomorrow I'll be getting up in the dark again. I'd better set two clocks to be sure I don't get up too late.
