if i fall back
into ultraviolet light
and radiant heat
that kicks against
the coming chill,
will there be
day enough left
to catch me?

this might be the first year ever that i forgot about it before it happened. my mom used to remind us for years, even in adulthood, even when devices did it for you, "don't forget to change your clocks!"

apparently ontario petitioned to opt out of it, but we need to wait to see if quebec and new york get on board too.

i've decided the best way to deal with dst is to pretend it doesn't exist. i don't care what the clock says anymore. i'll eat when i'm hungry and sleep when i'm able, for all the good it does me.

why can't we all be saskatchewan (and yukon) instead of always waiting for someone else to trigger our change to not changing.

In British Columbia we have, apparently, turned our clocks ahead for the last time and will stay permanently on Daylight Savings Time. Why it took so long to make this small change that almost everyone approved of is a complete mystery. The government has been talking about doing it for years and their inability to follow through made me lose faith in the ability of governments to make any meaningful changes. If they can’t even implement a change that has near universal approval and almost no negative impacts then how can we expect health care or decent education? In any event, it finally happened and it made me think about all the years of trying to adjust babies to the time change, the way they would wake up too early or fall asleep too late for weeks and cause my postpartum anxiety to flare and my sleep deprivation to deepen and how I would curse the idiots who started this in the first place rather than letting everyone go about their lives without constantly shifting the position of noon. We so rarely get to follow our natural inclinations. Our circadian rhythms are in tatters. Our nervous systems are shot. What I really want is to sync my body to the cycles of the sun and wake like an animal hearing the necessity of living in my blood.
