back to standard time

it gets too dark so early. you look out the window at 5:30 pm and it's dark already. it feels like it should be 8 pm. why do we have to go back to standard time? just keep daylight savings time forever. and make that our standard time. i just don't like it getting too dark so early.

money is tight! i hate november. the bills just keep pouring. first the property tax bill came. then the home insurance bill. and the flood insurance is now overdue. i just sent out the check today. i thought i'm already paid up until 2005. thank god for grace period. now, i just received my car registration notice. and i just paid the car insurance, too. why do they all come in the same month? money is tight!

i am lucky. yes it gets dark early. yes i have a lot of bills to pay. but i'm still lucky. i have a lot of blessings to be thankful for. i know more people are doing worse. and i really shouldn't complain. i just need to adjust to the time change. i do have the money to pay all these bills. i shouldn't complain. i am lucky.
