So, it took me entirely too long to realize this (like, a couple of weeks after he was born) but my new nephew Leo and I almost have the same middle name.
His is Alexiou, our great grandpa’s original Greek last name, and mine is (my maiden name) Ilax, the derivative of that. So, yeah. Basically twinning, right?!
Christina says not so much. Ha ha ha. Maybe I should change mine?!?!
How is everyone handling the switch to DST? Yesterday I was thinking about how well I’m doing with losing an hour of sleep this year, and was feeling pretty proud of myself.
Then I got up at 3:50 am today to teach and felt like DEATH. I was so tired I felt sick to my stomach, like I used to in college when I’d pull all nighters to finish architecture projects.
So yeah. Not actually doing so great with it, after all. Ha.
(And I definitely see the absurdity about posting about my tiredness and the same post where I am mentioning a newborn!!!!)
Awwww!!! What a little cutie pie! I see a little bit of Aunt Kim in Leo, so you guys are totally twinning 🙂
The time change has been especially weird for me, since we sprung an hour forward and then two days later I went back an hour to Central Time for a few days. So I have no idea what time it is right now.
Thanks!!!! 🙂
Oh gosh. That is so weird for you, I didn’t even think about it! So you had the change for two days then kind of felt like you were back to normal then had to jump back. Or forward again. Ew.
Hmm you don’t think maybe you were extra tired because you woke up at 2 yesterday?!?!?!
You can be twins if you want. 😘🥰
You know, I was thinking that could be part of it too 😉 LOL. Man, that sucked. I took yesterday afternoon off work and napped!
YAY!!!!!
Aww, that’s so sweet that the two of you (almost) have the same middle name! You’re both honoring your family history with it, so I think it counts as twinning 🙂 Did you used to have another middle name before you got married, or did you never have one?
I am ALL ABOUT having additional daylight at the end of the day, especially for running after work, but not having any light in the morning…blech. I don’t feel too thrown off by the time change itself, but I do miss it being light out in the morning. Only a few more weeks until that happens again, thankfully.
I think so too! 😉 Yes, my middle name was Marie! A certain family member was NOT happy that I got rid of it and replaced it with my maiden name, but that had more meaning to me 🙂
The mornings are HARD!!!! Pretty soon we’ll have our 4:30 am sunrises though, ha!
Awww, Leo is so cute! And I also see a family resemblance with his Aunt Kim, so you share more than just a second name!
We don’t change the time here until the 31st and I am already dreading it…
That is so funny you guys can see it! I have a hard time seeing it!
UGH! I dreaded ours too. Do you guys always change the last weekend of March?
It’s his smile!
I think the date varies but it is usually around the end of October and the end of March – no idea how they set it or who decides… There were big plans in the EU to stop doing it but now everything’s so overshadowed by Brexit I think they must have shelved the plan…
Oh no! They need to stop it! That’s important too! It will make people more sane to deal with Brexit!
Ha ha! True! If we decide to get rid of Daylight Savings Time in Europe, maybe the UK would even change their minds about leaving – LOL!
I say you guys are ABSOLUTELY twinning. 🙂
I love, love, love DST and don’t really struggle to adjust to it. It’s a little weird to go to work in the dark, of course, but SOOO worth it to have, like, 3 hours of daylight after work rather than… zero hours.
Thanks!
That is amazing you don’t struggle! That lost hour of sleep just messes with me eventually! (And I have a hard time with it being light out later – I eat later and later as it stays lighter and lighter, ha)
I had to doublecheck because it’s “DST,” but you write the timezone as “PDT,” for example. That makes DST even more confusing. I’d be a big fan of leaving it year-round, but I feel silly saying that since I think most people feel that way.
I’m catching up from Estonia, and they haven’t switched yet, I believe (not until 3/31). That makes it nine hours of time different between me and SF.
I only ever started to remember when we are actually on DST in the last few years (I remember that we’re on it longer, and in the summer). LOL, you can say things that most people agree with too 😉
Ugh that is a BIG difference!!! BLAH.
