Fall Back Hour

HOW I WOULD USE MY EXTRA (FALL BACK) HOUR
Since this hour occurs at 2:00am I seriously doubt I shall even be
awake to make use of it. I also doubt that I will set my alarm clock to
be awake for the event.
I will instead set all my clocks back one hour the day before and then
spend Saturday evening missing all my favorite TV shows. All because I
am so organized. Then I will spend the next day feeling as if I've
forgotten something or somewhere I should be. That could take an
hour.
Seeing as this extra hour falls on a Sunday I may come up with an
extra hour of chores for the husband to do. Of course, being so
organized, I will of made this list the day before while turning back
the clocks. He in turn will want to use the extra hour to rest, which
will cause a marital conflict. So we could both spend that extra hour
fighting or sulking. He could also want to use that hour to fish while
I may want to use that hour to re-arrange furniture. That would require
his muscles though and may also cause the above-mentioned fighting or
sulking.
Maybe I'll decide to do some of that research I've been meaning to do
online. You know the kind of stuff you always tell yourself that you'll
do when you have some free time? Well that's a free hour so I could do
that. More likely I will "accidentally" come across a game site and
spend that hour playing games. Which of course will extend into two or
three hours then there goes the whole day and I won't even have noticed
that there was a free hour to begin with.
I could spend the hour re-affirming friendships via the telephone.
That would require a certain amount of apologizing for not getting back
to them sooner and reminding them of who I am in the first place. I'm
not known for returning phone calls promptly obviously. Most of the
people I would call would probably be out enjoying the free hour in the
fresh air. That could work in my favor by saving me from having to
explain my lazy self personally; I could leave a message. Then they
would owe me a call. Hmmm.
I could exercise. Nah, that doesn't feel right.
I'll probably end up doing what I always do. Be a little off kilter,
enjoy the earlier sunset and rejoice that my favorite time of year is
finally here and probably call my mom long distance. I wonder...if I
made the phone call at 1:00am and hung up at 1:59 am, would I be
charged for an hour that didn't exist?
Enjoy your hour everyone and peace to all.
