I Need A Break

[ithildin]

I don't know if I'm going to make it till my October vacation. It's been so long since I've had a real holiday, and with the stress at work, stress in general, health issues... you get the idea. And if I end up not being able to swing going to Memphis, I'm going to be one hundred kinds of unhappy. But I'm going to think postitive thoughts! I am going to Memphis, I am, I am, I am!!

Nin and I have talked about going to Reno for a weekend, but I'm not sure that will happen. A former coworker and his new wife moved there and keep bugging us to visit. But going anywhere out of the area requires a rental car, since my old Jimmy is, well, old, and I don't trust taking it too far away. Plus I'm not sure it'll make it over Donner Pass another time! [g] Poor old thing.

We are going up to Jen's to see Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Men's Chest on opening night, spending the weekend and celebrating my birthday a week early. So that should be a nice break to hold me. And maybe Roberta will come to visit at some point during the summer. That would be nice too.

I'll stop whining now!

Is there any way you can take a mental health day? Make it a three day weekend? "It is the strongest bows that must be unstrung for if not, they are the first to break..." Don't remember where I read that, but it's all too true. Give yourself some downtime, tell the jerks to kiss ass and go bay at the moon!! :)

I only have a couple of sick days left for the year, and since I usually get sick in Dec. I'm hoarding them :) I was thinking taking July 3 off, and having a four day weekend, but as luck would have it, it's a payweek, which means I have to do payroll on that Monday.
