Wasting Time and the End of Daylight Savings Time

For those of you in the USA, who have had Daylight Savings Time for the last six months or so, get ready. Daylight Savings Time ends at 12:01 am Sunday morning, so don't forget to set your clocks BACK. You benefit from an extra hour of sleep, but to me, it means that Winter is finally here, howling at the door. I'm definitely NOT ready for it. 

I'll welcome the extra hour of sleep, but I'm not fond of 
driving home from work in the darkness. It just seems wrong 
to have full dark at 6:00 pm. 

We still have a bunch of leaves that still have to fall, so we aren't going to be doing much raking yet, but I hope they hurry and get on track before we get caught by the snow. Already we're getting touches of frost that are freezing the downed leaves to the ground below. Ever tried to rake up leaves frozen to the ground? It's not easy, it's rather frustrating, and it means I'm too cold. I'm sure I'll be wearing my snowmobile suit again when I help DH with leaves in a week or two. 

There's a habit - a food habit - that revolves around the 
Thanksgiving Day meal in the USA. Turkey or Ham (or 
both) for the main dish, with a variety of side dishes, 
and pies (pumpkin and sometimes a fruit pie) for 
dessert. We do usually roast a turkey - I enjoy making 
the bird, it practically cooks itself. The sides and dessert 
are up to each individual person. It works best for us 
that way. 

It's also time to start thinking about Thanksgiving meals (if you're in the USA). Now ... of course that's not saying those of you in other nations of the world can't think about Thanksgiving meals too - and even celebrate our holiday if you so choose - but "Turkey Day" will become our focus for the next few weeks. I'll have to get my annual Black Friday/Small Business Saturday sale e-flyer pounded back into shape and add names to my mailing list, and I still have to finish the interior of this year's holiday cards. 

Why am I wasting time? I have a TON of things to 
get done this month, and here it is, the 4th of 
November, and I've done nothing of substance! *sigh*

So, with so much to do, why am I wasting time? I suppose because I really don't want to dive into much of anything right now. So ... I'm going to let the clocks change on Sunday, and I'm going to move onward from there. Things will be done when they're done, and deadlines aren't set in stone. I'll just keep moving forward, paddling madly and hoping I keep up. Have an excellent weekend, I'll be back on Monday. Slava Ukraini and חיים למען ישראל.
