The Time Change

Dear Blog,

My productivity levels have been at an bit low today. Scary-low, if I’m being honest. I just can’t seem to focus. For example I began this post at 11:30 a.m. today, it’s currently 8:15 p.m.

It all started when I woke up and saw a pile of snow on the sky window in our bedroom. Btw, have I mentioned before we have sky-windows all over our new place? Pretty schnazy, right? Me from 1996 is totally proud of myself.

“You know what this house needs? A window. But on the ceiling!”


“I love it,” says the other person,”what do we call it? A ceiling window?”


“No,” the first person says with a glimmer in their eye as they move their hand dramatically in the air, “a skyyyyyy window.”


Other person faints from pure excitement. 


Did I mention I’m having trouble focusing? I literally just glanced up and got distracted for 30 minutes thinking about sky windows.

Where was I? Oh yes, the snow.

Oh no! I thought. We didn’t just lose an hour when we messed with the clocks, we accidentally went all the way back to January. In 2016! (Because Chicago just doesn’t do snow in 2017.) 


Once I stumbled out of my morning haziness and realized it was in fact still March of 2017, a sudden wave of dread set over me.

A March snowstorm. What have we done to deserve something so awful? I had all but put away my winter boots, gloves, and hats simply out of protest. I’m over the layers. OVER IT. And yet there I was, digging out snow boots for me, and snow boots for Harlow.

And it’s no easy task putting those orange booties on an overly excited-Harlow. However it’s obvious Chicago hasn’t used their salt rations this year as they clearly went to town with it today. It’s everywhere! And so to protect his little paws, Har has to wear the booties. Between putting on the booties, his winter coat, his earmuffs, his mittens, his snowboard pants, and his chapstick; it’s a 20 minute process.

The things we do for the people we love.

For whatever reason, today has been one of those days where even the most mundane email is taking me double the amount of time it usually does. When forced to make any decision I find myself staring at it for hours as if it’s life or death! It took me nearly three hours to order my inventory for the week- a task that can usually be done in about 30 minutes.

And don’t get me started on choosing which cereal to buy at the grocery store this morning. That was a meltdown in itself.

It’s the time change, right? Or maybe the snow? Or the fact it’s Monday?

Could changing the clocks just one simple hour really throw everyone off so much? Yes, yes it could. And my theory is that it’s because we were all walking around with a weird, flustered energy today and it was contagious.

Well everyone, except Harlow. He was just fine.

Does the church look blurry or crooked to anyone else? If you’re thinking it’s a photoshop error you’re giving my “editing skills” far too much credit. The furthest I go when it comes to editing is switching my phone into airplane mode and using good ol Instagram.

I’m telling you, things were off today… Tomorrow will be better. Who’s with me?

    Sky window! That's a brilliant name. In the UK we call them roof lights, which is less romantic. And also confusing, because they're not lights…

    I have never heard them called sky windows — I like it! We have four in our home and have always heard them referred to as "sky lights."

    I'm having the same issue! It's hard to focus on things that would normally take me minutes. Harlow looks so cute in his booties. Hope you'll get some warmer Spring weather soon!

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm from United Kingdom London, City(GB). I met this spell caster called Dr IyaryI of [email protected] online and so many other, but i decided to go with this particular spell caster and this is about 2 weeks ago.I needed the spell caster to reunite me and my lover because she started behaving strange and a day came she text me and told me she cannot continue with the relationship anymore, that she just want to be alone.But a close friend of hers shows the guy to me that she was now dating.So i contacted this spell caster because i was totally heart broken and i smoked and get drunk till i could not even notice if am standing or lying.This spell caster told me not to worry, he gave me hope that am to have her again just like old times, and i provided all the requirements, and in just 5 days, my ex lover called me crying over the phone asking for me to forgive her for her stupid act, and she swore with her mother grave to love me and never hurt me again.This was what the spell caster earlier told me and it came after he has done the spell and that same night, my lover came back to the house to me. I have never seen spell as powerful as this but now, am convinced that Dr IyaryI is the best ever, You can contact him through him email address: [email protected] or [email protected] or And also Reach him on WhatsApp Number: +2349057915709 Thanks Dr. IyaryI
