The CK Daily – Preparation
Happy Pi Day! Today reminds me of the day that we were served delicious pies from Southern baked Pie Company at our company celebration! Their buttermilk pie is out of this world. Today is also a day I dread because it’s the first workday after the time change. That first Monday (probably even the first week) is the roughest. Every year I rail against the time change…I know it’s coming, but I willingly choose to ignore it and I never prepare for the inevitable loss of sleep.
I hear rumors of legislation that could be passed to abolish any time change…but I’ve been hearing that for years… I hope it passes in my lifetime!
Other than losing a bit of sleep, the weekend was very chill, both figuratively and literally (we had a bit of a cold snap, a very stark difference from last week). We mostly stayed indoors, but we did make a trip to my Sister-in-law’s house to meet my new niece that was born last Wednesday! I forgot how small newborns could be… my 2-year-old looks like a giant standing next to the baby (and my 2-year-old is small, relatively speaking).
Anyways how do you all prepare for the time change? Do you prepare at all? For those of you who are in parts of Arizona and Hawaii… consider yourself very fortunate you don’t have to deal with this anachronistic nonsense!
