Be careful when you fall back Sunday morning

Here we go again, it is almost time to set those clocks back one hour. That happens at 2:00 am on Sunday morning. I always change mine Saturday evening. Gaining an hour of sleep won't happen in this house. Ruby the lab doesn't give two shakes of the tail about humans getting to sleep longer. When she wants up and out, up I get.
So I will be up and making coffee at my normal 6:00 am which will officially be 5:00 am. It will make for a long day in one way but short since the sun will be gone an hour sooner.Who came up with this and why?
The State of Tennessee tried to pass a law keeping DST all year long, but it didn't pass...darn...
Be careful when you fall back Sunday is all I can say.

Oh, it's time for this..., already? The clocks get set back before I head off to bed, but naturally, try telling my internal clock anything. When it wants to wake me up, it's going to wake me up. Dogs don't care, and my body sure doesn't.
Never really this thing and never well. Given the fact we go ahead in another six months(or whenever they decide to do it this time), it's just pointless. All it does is screw with a person's mind. And I really wouldn't notice the sun if it was gone or not, these days, because it's been the cloudy dreary days I just known from autumn.

And changing all the clocks...is another pain and they all wind up with a different time!
I'll pretend the sun is out just so I can miss it.

Glad I was a first in something! I never wear a watch but I always want to know what time it is.

@Rosekitty I can't remember the last time I wore one. Oh, when my husband, then dating, gave me a Micky Mouse watch, that was around 97
