Day 2 - 300 -- Time Distortion

Most of the day, I have felt that it was Thursday -- not Wednesday.  I guess that means that not only do I gain an hour at time change this weekend, but I seem to gain a virtual day during the week. <smile> If only it worked that way. I need several days to get caught up on work stuff and several more to catch up on sleep, house stuff and some planning stuff. Even as I type this, I recalled one more report due on Friday. So -- good thing that tomorrow is only Thursday it seems. I wonder if this sort of time distortion occurs more when stress increases past that healthy point -- hmmm.

Time is such an odd concept and one that can feel different than reality. Things go faster or slower and sometimes they go just as planned. I walked into a dark classroom this morning with no students. One came up behind me and was also confused as to why no one was there yet. One clock in the office said it was 8 past the hour and it really was on the hour (classes start at 15 past the hour).  So -- even technology can move faster or slower somewhat like my old tick-tock clock at home.  It is battery-free and used to lose a few minutes each hour -- so about 15-20 minutes lost overnight.. It is now hours behind by morning -- losing 2 hours or more in each 12 hour time block. The sound is comforting and I know not to rely on the position of the hands.

The song today seemed to fit the my timey-wimey musings <smile>. The lyrics also contain some advice that sounds quite sensible -- may not be easily operationalized though. Enjoy!
