Thanksgiving: Three Weeks AWay
November 3, 2011Christmas Countdown – 7 Weeks
November 5, 2011Tomorrow night, we set our clocks back an hour. I absolutely love getting the extra hour of sleep, but it does mean that we won't have light in the evenings anymore.
I am not a fan of doing errands after dark. I walk to and from most places, so it's a bit of a safety issue for me. The lack of light in the evening also means I can't run outside in the evening.
That means it's necessary to plan your weekly schedule carefully. Since the only time you'll have light is likely to be the weekend, you'll need to reserve outside tasks and errands for Saturday and Sunday. Indoor chores like cooking, laundry, mopping, dusting, etc. can be reserved to weekday evenings when the light goes early.
But in the short term, enjoy your extra hour: sleep in, read a book, take a bath!
