Not-so-future Planning

Hey you.

How are you? Enjoying your Sunday? I've had a good weekend--which includes a cut and color, a steak, and a little shopping--and I'm still wondering about whether or not to take tomorrow off. It's supposed to rain like crazy for two days, and I could use the time to do laundry and correct, but I would also like to take a day to sit with D in chemo. She's getting chemo twice a week (this clinical trial is pretty aggressive), and I'd like to visit with L, or take turns--watching C so L can go, then going myself. There's the part of me who says do both, Barb. Take tomorrow for yourself; take a Tuesday for D. Honestly, Amanda, my last pay stub showed that I have 109 sick days accumulated. I've taken 8 this year (2 for my parents' party) and have another 7 I can take before I dip into the 109. When I retire, I will get paid for up to 200 unused days...at 30 dollars a day. Maybe only 15. Do I sound like I'm trying to convince myself to go for it?  I guess I am.

Whether or not I take tomorrow, it's a short week this week since Friday is a holiday, and that's a good thing. I'm going to Boston Friday to Saturday (the extended forecast looks great!) and spending Easter Sunday with my family. After that, my friend, I am officially in the homestretch. My birthday is 2 months away, and pool season starts that weekend. We make final NHS selections Wednesday, the third quarter ends Thursday, and it's pretty much smooth sailing after that. Wow.

Looking forward to your next update. Hope you're finishing up a good weekend.

Love,
Barb
