The CK Daily – A Lowkey Weekend
Happy Monday!
This weekend was pretty lowkey for my family. It’s been a bit warmer down south and we spent a lot of time outdoors at the park. The time change has finally arrived with daylight saving time finally ending. I like this time change the best and I wish it would just stay this way for the whole year.
There’s actually been local legislation proposed on the state level to make one or the other permanent. Every year it’s talked about, but it’s never actually passed. If they do pass it, I hope it’s for not changing the time at all after November 5th. It still boggles my mind we still have to have a time change. I read some statistics that changing to daylight savings time increases mortality and also increases the occurrence of heart attacks! That’s a crazy statistic.
Well, I hope you all enjoyed an extra hour of sleep (and for those in Arizona and Hawaii that don’t observe it, good on you and enjoy your business like usual for the day) and have a great and wonderful week!
