Vacations - Whatcha Doin?

[Old Smokey]

We are going to stay at Big Cedar Lodge in Branson for 2 nights in August for a family reunion. It will be nice seeing relatives that I haven't seen in a long time. I am looking forward to it.

Last vacation was a few weeks shy of thirty five years ago,1985.
Sitting smoking on front porch the view of the back of the Mail box is starting to bore me.
Destination, duration still uncertain, but think it's about time for a change of scenery.

We'll be doing water damage repairs at the lake and farm. It sucks, but we have many "mini vacations" that make up for real vacations throughout the year.....

spent 5 nights on the road last week doing a beer trip. Vermont, New Hampshire, Ma. etc. picked up more beer
than i really needed. 2 day turnaround and back on the road with the wife in Lake Placid NY. for a week.
i’m sure my plants and garden are suffering about now.

I know I won't get any sympathy on this.... but here goes my First-world problem.

I have a work-from-home job. This means I don't have to take time off for lots of things that office workers do. I can actually use my vacation for .... ummmm ... vacation. Instead of sick days, etc. I've worked while having a cold plenty, as I don't have to worry about infecting a co worker.

My employer caps my vacation accrual at 160 hours.
Currently at 152.
I get 6.67 hours per pay period.

I think I need to take off every other Friday.... .Sigh....

Well, I've got this two+week vacation to Germany / Austria in Sep 2020.

I've felt as if I've needed to "save my hours" for that - but I'm realizing that --- damn., I don't need to save a thing right now.

As long as I keep the balance above 100, I'm good.

Wife and I are taking the plane to Davis Ca to visit a friend on Jul 19th.

I think I'll also take Friday the 2nd of August, and maybe August 16th. Don't know why yet, though.

Come here to Oklahoma where I will guarantee you that it won't be over 115 degrees with 90 % humidity. It'll make you enjoy going home for another 35 years. That mailbox will look like a Playboy model winking at you with loose legs.....
