I had several "cute" post titles in mind, but decided on the straight forward one.

Over a year ago, my wristwatch band broke. I kept postponing getting a new one--or a new watch, since they're so cheap.

At first, I stuck the watch in my pocket to carry around. Then I began leaving it at home because I hardly ever looked at it, and it made a lump in my pocket, which looked suspicious. If I left home, I was in my truck, and it has a clock, so why bother?

I've come to realize I don't need a watch, period. When one ages, time isn't all that important, especially for a retiree. I really don't care what time it is. That doesn't mean I'm not a clock watcher. I'm still pretty routine oriented. I set my alarm clock so not to oversleep (but never do), eat lunch at noon, snack at 3, etc.

Tonight, daylight savings time ends. You know what that means? I'll have to figure out how to change my watch that's permanently sitting on the kitchen table. That's too technical for me! I didn't even bother with changing it last Spring when I went to Utah. "Press #2 3 times, then #3 4 times, then back to #2 ......... Good grief.

And speaking of DST, this time change really screws me up. I'll be waking up now at 5:45, want to eat lunch at 11, get constipated from the change in my schedule, and who knows what. All for what purpose?

Indiana went 30 or 40 years with no DST or change of time. Suddenly, we decided to "get with the program" like all the other states. Personally, it's a big pain in the butt--literally.

Have a nice weekend. I won't. (Really, I will. But don't tell anybody.)
