Daylight Savings Threw Me Off This Morning

I must be still trying to get used to yesterday's time change because I overslept by about 25 minutes this morning. Fortunately, I am low maintenance enough for me to get ready and out the door within 15-20 minutes of rolling out of bed when needed.

It did, however, throw off my morning routine and that means the rest of my day will probably feel a bit off as well. 

For the record, I'm one of the people who would be a fan of getting rid of Daylight Savings completely. Both for reasons like what I just mentioned and also because I honestly just don't see the point. 

Yes, we gain an extra hour of daylight in the evening, which I will admittedly appreciate when it means I can light up my grill after getting home later and cook dinner without standing out in the dark. However, as a trade-off, I lost an hour this morning, which meant I would have needed to take my walk in the dark (had I not overslept) and still needed to turn on lights just to move around the house.

So, if this is the last time we ever need to spring ahead (which probably won't be the case, but we can only hope), count me as a fan.
