Did you get a 3 day weekend???
#32
I not only had a 3 day weekend, I had a 4 day weekend, as I took Fri off as a vacation day. I have lots of vacation time this year becasue of a change in my company's vacation policy - we used to be able to carry vacation over from oneyear to the next for 2 years. With this year, we are no longer able to carry over vacation time from year to year. So, this means that the vacation time that we had carried over from last year had to be used by the end of August (I had 2 weeks from last year that I had to use) and then the vacation time for this year has to be used by the end of the year.
On top of this we no longer have vacation days and sick days - they are all rolled into one under personal time off - so I have 18 days of pto to use by the end of the year.
I used all of my rolled over vacation time before teh end of July, so when I went on a 2 week vacation to San Francisco, that was my pto, so when I came back, I was to have only 8 days left of pto, but due to some glitch, 10 extra days were added and my supervisors dais to leave it alone, so I still have 18 day to take by the end of the year.
To make a long story short, I had something like 40 days off this year! I wish I would've had the money to go over to Poland to visit relatives, but that is a big expense for me, so taking long weekends till the end of the year.

I was suppose to, and had planned to spend the weekend with my aunt, reconnecting and quilting, but my daughters' carpool was in an accident Friday afternoon. Middle little got a concussion and whiplash and was in the hospital until Sunday, then we were home Monday recuperating. Scariest weekend of my life.
All good now. Her memory is back and she's out of the collar thingie. Went to school this morning. :)
But now I need another 3-day weekend to get over this last 3-day weekend!

He has a bad staph infection and this morning talked to nurse and his blood pressure went sky high they had to call the Dr.
Now today October 11th is our wedding anniverary 36 years.
You can follow about his updates on my PDA. Do you use the PDA here on the quilting board, great way to communicate with others each day. I have met some great friends on my PDA, live chat and by private messages.
Also have met quilters at my meet and greets, quilt shows, shop hops, lunch, house and more.
You are my Quilting Friends and I enjoy chatting with all of you and some we have chatted with on the phone.
