The tiresome time of the year

Just when you think you have made it to the end of winter, the time when the morning sky is noticeably brighter earlier.  They , those in positions of power, plunge you back into the black hole of winter. Skip ahead as it were. One hour loss of sleep, what is the big deal.  Well as it turns out it is a big deal. Throwing a population into a week long jet lag has some profound effects that people are finally complaining about .   So this morning I went out with the dog into the teeth of the third nor Easter in 10 days and even the dog said , un huh, no way, what is going on here. He went but a short way , turned and headed back home where he figured  to get back that hour of sleep some human had stolen from him. Not so easy for the rest of us humans who must traipse on through yet another cold, gray, dense day before we eventually get to a promised spring.

So with tiresome weather and tiresome politics, I was lucky to come across this.

It sums up our state of affairs and nudges me closer to the point of withdrawing from watching. Listening or bothering, and maybe just maybe getting back under the blankets to steal back that hour of sleep so rudely grabbed from me on Sunday
