aggregated morning space time continuum

I am confused this morning as to exactly what has happened.
I awoke as I normally do by hitting the alarm clock and opening my eye lids.
  1. I got up.
  2. Took a shower. [That's right. I took it.]
  3. Brushed my teeth.
  4. Shaved my chest. [Ooo la la!]
  5. Put clothes on, my body.
  6. Socks...boots...watch.
  7. Phone

Now, here is why I am confused. I was in no hurry. I felt the morning was going rather pleasantly. Clue#1: It was quietly raining outside. I felt good. Andrea called as I was putting wallet in pocket. I told her I was still a little sleepy and that I was about to walk out the door. Clue #2: She went, "Ohhh, O.K." Nothing dramatic or anything, just a tinge more empathy than what would seem normal. Said I'd call back when I get to work. "Love You, Bye." Got my keys, headed towards the door. As I was walking out of the house, I noticed a woman from work had called my phone already that morning. Clue#3: Missed Call. I thought that is strange. Still, at this point I had not put it together. I get in my truck, pull away from the driveway. Clue#4: Traffic is scarce. I called Deniece from work to hear what she was calling me for.

B: "Hey Deniece. It's Bryan"
D: Boooyy Where are you?
B: "I am driving to work. Why?"
D: You usually call if you are going to be even five minutes late, and I didn't hear from you.
B: "What the..."

The conversation did continue briefly but is no longer neccessary. Until that moment, I had been having an average 'everyday' morning. Now, without warning or instruction, I have been thrust exactly one hour into the future. One hour. Exactly.

My only excuse is that I have none.........or that I "fell back" 38 days early.

Wow, you must return to those of us an hour in the past so that we may partake of your knowledge gained from time-travel. Also, do you shave an X into your chest? I wanna see.

It looks like this. ?
Only bigger.

You might not remember this, but this morning (about the time you usuall go to work), you called and said you'd give me $550 and your sweet-ass three wood. Then you amended that statement to include all your golf clubs. Just thought you'd like to know.

Yes Yes. The $ grew out. Rather quickly I might add. I am anticipating the Euro symbol to succeed the ?. I have a schematic already worked out.
