Adjusting to the Clock

By Joe

Isabella and I are not adjusting to the time change very well. She only started trying to wake me up this morning after the living room light—set on a timer—turned on at 5:00 a.m. Apparently, that’s when she realized she’d overslept.

I’m used to getting up at 4:30 a.m. at the latest, which gives me plenty of time to write my blog post without rushing through coffee and breakfast. I still have enough time this morning, but it feels rushed because today is my first day back at work after my vacation.

Maybe next year I’ll remember this and take the week after the time change off instead. That might be the smarter strategy.

I know I have a mountain of emails waiting for me, but hopefully it won’t be too bad of a day.

Have a great week, everyone.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

    Good morning Joe and wow, what a wonderful compact deep-crease bum greeted me this morning. I was in a dilema whether to save him under ARSE or BED and decided on reflection to save under both. A good start to the new week. He really is a peach.
