Are you sure about that ? Maybe for your longitude but not mine ???
Here, tomorrow's daylight will be 19 seconds shorter than today.
True, but sunsets will come later.

Rejoice in your extra 21 seconds in the afternoon (who cares about morning?).
This
does not change until the winter solstice on Dec 21.

In the run-up to winter solstice in our hemisphere sunsets start to get later in early december. The days still get shorter because dawn comes later.
Dawn will not start coming earlier until circa Jan 11 for Houston.
If the earth's orbit was circular we wouldn't have these issues.
