I am the only one awake so far this morning. It is quiet and the coffee is strong and it is lovely. My sister took off on Thursday so we can do doctors appointments, but she had some floating holidays that needed to be used, so she took off Wednesday and Friday as well. Which is going to be five days of family togetherness, but oh well. At least I can go with Jess to her appointment on Thursday.
I'm kind of sad that I didn't take today off, too, so I could have slept in and had a four day weekend for my birthday, but alas, I have to use time to take off for Christmas when we're closed, so I'm down to 20 hours of PTO left. Once our Holiday Pay drops in January, I'll take a couple of days off. And of course, there's the February time off as well. I think once I have my 72 hours of floating holidays, I will probably pad the February trip on either end. I'd like to be able to do an extra day before we leave, so I can do laundry, and a couple of extra days when we return (so I can do laundry).
And my peace and quiet was disturbed by dad waking up to use the bathroom. He's capable of doing that himself, but he was a little off balance last night, so I wanted to be nearby. Now he's tucked back in, and I'm back to the quiet. Funny, it's much easier to write when the TV isn't on.
My 50's are not looking enticing. Yesterday, I managed to pull a muscle in my lower back, while sitting in my chair. I have no fucking clue what happened, but holy crap, it was not happy. It's still sore today, though a night laying flat seems to have helped somewhat. There's no shooting pain down my leg when I walk now.
My Jess is up! I get a few minutes of snuggle time with them before I have to start work! Metaphorical snuggle time at least. I don't think I can bend to give actual snuggles.
Okay, time to go get some pants on and spend a little quality time with my spouse. Everyone have a wonderful Wednesday!
