I mean, yes the power going out thing is real bc it's a special form of disorientation when you wake up alone and everything is black and silent, no reassuring electric hum, and you have no idea how long it's been like that?

but also I just bought two analog clocks (like the 5$ school classroom kind) because my vision is SO bad I can't read a digital one from any distance farther than like 4 inches away (even on a large display, 8 and 0 for instance are too blurry) and I got tired of scrambling for an alarm clock/my phone, holding it up to my face and squinting at it every time I'm not wearing glasses

A digital 7 and 1 can be confused (at least by me lol) depending on your visual angle, but on a round-faced clock it's easy to tell if it's say, early or late afternoon, even if you can't get it exact.

Like the minute hand is down around the 5-6-7 area so it's approximately half past the hour, that kind of thing - as an adhd assist it helps me keep track of time passing

Oh it's been *approximation of time as distance* since i started? I better be wrapping up then if I'm gonna leave on time.

* I admit I have appliances with clocks but I also almost never can be bothered reset them correctly - my oven and microwave both say different times, neither of them is correct

My cousin just asked if she could come over and pick up the clocks that she left here because she and her husband don't have any way to tell time at her house except by looking at their phones.

Maybe this is *extremely dyscalculic* of me but are you fucking kidding me do people actually use analogue clocks in their homes to tell time?
