When I worked in Toron...I dislike the time changes. When I worked in Toronto I would take the train to work in the dark and take it back home in the dark. To compensate I would get outside for a walk every day, even in the most wretched weather (even though my office was connected to the concourse and I could shop and eat lunch in subterranean comfort!). I dislike the darkness coming early though as I just get so fidgety in the evenings! I miss sitting on the patio or gardening for a couple of hours at the end of a busy day. I think a walk at night might help even if it is dark, then I can come back inside for a hot tea and a bit of knitting :)September Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-8965517948054625372015-11-07T13:28:34.684-08:002015-11-07T13:28:34.684-08:00A cup of tea, a scented candle and crochet hook in...A cup of tea, a scented candle and crochet hook in hand!

A few blooms still cling on here, but right now we are having a very light snow. We won't get much, but is just the idea that 'tis the season. I keep a stash of beans so make hearty soups to warm us up. Don't you just wish Day Light Savings would go away? I am tired too simply because I stay up too late.

But I know that my Tim used to have days where he went into work in the dark and came out into darkness and never saw the sun. He hated that. Perhaps a chance to step outside during the day?<br /><br />I'm glad you were able to relax and have a cozy evening. That is what I love about this time of year!<br /><br />DeannaDeanna Rabe - Creekside Cottage Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133684514103206137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-18399186016676373052015-11-06T06:25:37.231-08:002015-11-06T06:25:37.231-08:00I'm lucky the time change doesn't affect m...I'm lucky the time change doesn't affect me and I'm an early riser to exercise in the basement then walk the dog...yes, the wonderful life of retirement that allows these things!

But then I'm not out every day teaching like you are. Give yourself some slack--you have a lot going on. The only plus I see to the time change is that candles look better on the dinner table with darkness outside the windows.podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-6360073290290675282015-11-06T04:40:30.546-08:002015-11-06T04:40:30.546-08:00It has to be difficult getting through long days w...It has to be difficult getting through long days when you both arrive and leave in the dark. My sister has shared that experience with me. She says that she feels like a mole. Is there any way that you can take a quick walk during the day? Sitting by the fire with a cup of tea and Vivaldi playing in the background sounds restorative for certain. Now where's my fake fire?!

I told my husband I wished there was one person I could be mad at for this time change. As I get older, It takes longer and longer to adjust every time the time changes. I remember when it took one or two days and now it is weeks. Oh well, I guess that is what a second cup of coffee is for. Good luck with your grading. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-69038742750729524932015-11-06T04:16:43.412-08:002015-11-06T04:16:43.412-08:00Fortunately your extra workload is only temporary....Fortunately your extra workload is only temporary. It is surely tiring.<br />I feel relieved when summer with all its activities is over and one can, with good conscience, enjoy the life indoors with good books, a nice cup of tea, candles etc. (I know it's particularly easy to say it this year, when we just had one of the most beautiful autumns ever.) I start waiting for Christmas in September. In our northern darkness, Christmas brings light and warmth to our lives, not only spiritually but also physically.<br />Have a lovely weekend!Sara - Villa Emiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402655388283396110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-43750884314138432102015-11-06T01:03:31.453-08:002015-11-06T01:03:31.453-08:00My body always takes awhile when the clocks change...My body always takes awhile when the clocks change time in autumn.

Hot tea and good conversation always helps on these long nights. I try not to wish them away - they never come again - so I try and fill them with happy things.
