It was busy day here yesterday and a smidge stressful and
I completely forgot to change my clocks, but did when I
hopped out of bed.  One or two things changed automatically
but the other timekeepers had to be set manually.

I set my clocks and two watches last night around 10pm. I left the
kitchen clock for the morning because I rarely look at it anyway.

My computer clock just changed automatically. I thought it wasn't
supposed to do that until 2:00 in the morning.

Should have done it the last 2AM or on startup today. My computers and
phone were on and had the correct time when I got up.

My desktop was on DST when I went downstairs this morning. I did not
use my laptop until this afternoon so I have no idea when it set itself.

No. For the few things that don't adjust themselves, I did it
this morning after I got up. Why should I do it Saturday night?

I did some last night, this morning I did the one wind up "school house"
clock that we've had for many years. I was undecided about it. I have
to wind it every week and it gains about one minute every week. If I
just continued winding it would eventually reset itself to DST by about
April 1, 2026.

NO your Majesty! We do NOT see you as an outdated queen.

We all see you as a young beautiful crown princess.

We get on our hands and knees to crawl along your footprints, kissing
each slight depression in the ground.

Take heart your majesty. Our new president has the same mindset as your highness, so you will be elevated in state importance. You might even
get invited to attend a state dinner with president trump and president
putin at mara lago.

the nail it hangs from than it does to change the time.

I have set a few records for the most time taken.

I already told all about my 'Casio' with the broken
button that takes about two hours each spring & fall
because I need to advance or retard it by 29 seconds
every minute or so.

I also have a 'Sony' ~3" cube that I bought because
it can automatically shange from standard to daylight.

I guess I should have read the manual when I bought it
a dozen years ago, because it has never done so.
Today I found by trial & error that the DST button
I was using to change from 'On' to 'Off' also has
an 'Auto' setting if you press it long enough, so
next autumn it should switch back automatically.

That clock also has a battery backup so it continues
to keep time (with display off) during power fails,
so that should be the last time I have to touch the
buttons on the back. (Unless, of course, to correct it
after touching the buttons on the back accidentally.)

I have two digital watches and I think I got the second one for the sake
of some of it's functions. As it turned out, while the face was large
to enough to have multiple displays most were too small to see clearly.
Then there was the problems with resetting it. It had an analog clock
face and a smaller digital readout and inevitably when I tried to reset
the time for the semi annual change one of the hands would be directly
over the digital readout that I needed to reset it. Once the time was
reset digitally the hands would move automatically. It would have been
so much easier if it had allowed me to set the analog clock and then
have it automatically reset the digital.

On the latest return to standard time I was having battery problems. I
had those two digital watched to wear for activities and a proper
analog. It was silly to be paying a lot of money to replace multiple
batteries so I scrapped it. Now I don't have to worry about the hassle
of a third battery to replace and a watch that took more than a half
hour of frustration to reset.

Problem solved. Wear on for Standard time, wear the other for DST.
