I have had two days off in a row. That's very unusual for my job, and it's only happened a few times. However, this week starts my vacation days. I'm only taking part of them now and will take the rest later on. These are paid vacation days and I get a full week. Last year, I go three days because I'd been working there less than a year at the time. It's nice to know that days off won't mean I lose any pay!
These two days off, though, are part of my regular schedule. I needed them. For one thing, I wanted to be off on Memorial Day so we could have a family cookout. Then, I wanted to be off today just to catch my breath and possibly get some other things done in my house. It seems like even when I have a day off, I've got so many errands to run that I can't get anything done here.
I'll spend the rest of the afternoon piddling around, putting things where I want them, and maybe even starting a glass painting project I have in mind for the windows on the front door.
