leave it alone please

LEAVE IT ALONE PLEASE
every year
twice a year
i say this
leave it along please
as
my body tries to adjust to daylight savings time

i think it should be called daylight loosing time
or
more appropriately
night time loosing sleep time

saturday night after going to a birthday party
i went to bed and woke up at my usual time
at 400 am
and
as i sat looking at my computer down in the left corner
was the time
it said 500am
so
i looked at my cell phone
yep its 500am


thats when i realized its daylight savings time
i was feeling real perky
drinking my coffee
reading my emails
then
i realized the time change day was here

i felt tired all of a sudden
then
later in the day i took an afternoon nap
woke up and looked at the clock
it said 330pm
man i thought i sure didnt nap very long did i
then
thats when i realized it was really 430pm
i had forget to change the clock

one good thing about the time change this weekend
is
that the time in my old black truck will now be correct
for a few months

this morning i read an article about the time change
today
the monday after the spring forward time change
is the day there is a 21% increase in heart attacks
supposedly due to the lack of sleep
and
the changes our bodies have to undergo each spring
readjusting to the new time

so
i am going on record today
lets get rid of daylight killing time

now do i want it locked in at a spring forward
or
a fall back to where it was time

i want
since i am a  morning person
more of a morning
so i propose that we
heck i cant figure it out
does spring forward or fall back give us more morning time

whichever one gives us an earlier sun rise
thats the one i want

then
leave it alone please

done, help out, what time is it

DONE

were done with our walks to end alzheimers
combining the three walks our team did we had
successful walks
we had a close to 50 people walk with our teams

i especially enjoyed talking to participants and listening
to their stories
many were tearful ones

this one family had family members who had the disease and
walk in the temple bell county walk every year
they raise more money than any other group

this last year one of the relatives made a quilt of the walk
tshirts for the last few years
now im not a quilt expert like dr bates from the suture for a living
blog or my rainwater brothers wife or my older brothers wife
but the quality of workmanship on this seemed
to be a top notch job

then when you talk to the family and listen to their story
it makes the quilt look ever better

HELP OUT
i donate our donation money all to the alzheimers association
because of all the good work its done in alzheimers education and
in getting the government to fund and pass new laws affecting
alzheimers patients and funding

well i do donate occasionally to some kids ball team or band
or elementary school fund raising

but when things come along like katrina did and like the
sandy hurricane thats devastated the northeast
i always do a donation to the relief effort through the red cross
the government cant do it all

please donate to the red cross for its relief effort for those
affected by sandy
donate here at www.redcross.org/lp/sandy

WHAT TIME IS IT

when i go to the alzheimers research center for my followup
visits i do the same neuropsychological tests every time
one of the things i have to do is draw a clock put in the numbers
and draw in the time
glad i didnt have to do that yesterday

yesterday i got up at 4 am
i felt so good because as ive written before this damn aricept
im on messes with my sleep big time
i was so proud i slept in (for me thats sleeping in)
so i did my computer and reading routine
checking my watch several times then
i looked down at the time on my computer
it had set itself to the new time as had my cell phone
damn it

my wife she makes lunch for us on saturdays and sundays
as my reward for being good all week dong my honeydos
the problem was when she got up she moved the time forward
ie she sprung forward instead of falling forward on our clock
in the kitchen
so we had a brunch on sunday instead of lunch

i hate the time change
wish they would leave it alone like in arizona
just make sure that there is the mostest daylight in
the late afternoon and not the morning

so what time is it
my body says one thing and my clock says another
