daylight savings kicking my butt

Rembrandt: A Woman Sleeping

(looks familiar)

Whether we fall back or spring forward, it takes me a disturbingly long time to adjust to any change of time. This week, getting out of that soft, warm, cozy bed to face the cold, black morning is harder than ever. I am just sleepy.

On Wednesday morning, I went for a dental cleaning and exam. The nice hygienist had a routine where she'd perform a painful procedure in my mouth and then turn away for a second or two to take notes, and then return to poke or scrape once again. I was doing my "childbirth relaxation breathing" to cope. Apparently this relaxation technique combined with daylight savings worked wonders. At one point the hygienist nudged me, "Are you asleep?"

Yes, I was actually asleep. Hopefully not snoring or drooling, though we can't be too sure. I guess I'll take a nap anywhere I can get it.

Happy to report, healthy gums and no cavities.
