Ode to Daylight Savings Time
There has been much bitching about daylight savings time, but I'll be the minority and say that I'm enjoying it. The weather has been beautiful the last few days - actually close to seventy degrees here in Albuquerque. I had to abandon my evening walks this winter because of the temperatures and the fact that it gets dark so quickly after dinner. It's been far too long (October) since I've been able to get outside each day for some fresh air. Thankfully, due to daylight savings time, the sun doesn't set until seventy-thirty now. Ferguson and I went on a walk yesterday after dinner, and it was glorious. The weather was wonderful, and I had Justin Timberlake on the iPod.
Now, I just need to get a new pair of walking shoes. The ones I have are decent, but they aren't the best by any means. There's a New Balance store somewhere in Albuquerque, and I hope to drop by there in the next couple weeks for a proper pair of walking shoes that can also double as jogging shoes. I've resigned myself to dropping a load of cash on them since I'll be using them each day of the week. However, I refuse to pay as much as my boss did yesterday for her pair of walking shoes. She assured me that they were on sale, but admitted to still paying over two hundred and fifty bucks for them. They're supposed to force you to walk correctly because a portion of the back of the heel is missing. I think they just look weird.
And the best thing is that I'm not nearly as tired in the evenings after my walk. This winter I was falling asleep at ten o'clock while trying to read a book. However, last night I was able to sit up until midnight with the book and not feel sleepy at all. Exercise, how I love you. I just don't love you enough to join the trendy gym two blocks up the street.
