Day two of PTO. I slept until 11:30 this morning. Thankfully, I do feel better this afternoon and will be back to work tomorrow.

Our Fed Refund arrived in the mail yesterday. I thought that was wierd. It usually is direct deposited to the account. Arent checks obsolete? We also received a $20 check from one of the rewards CCs that we no longer use. All of the money from the checks is budgeted for.

The hub called yesterday to let me know that the job needs him to stay an extra week this rotation. I had to change his airline ticket that Id already bought, but it was only $40 more. His job will reimburse that. He isnt actually working an extra week in the end, it just means that when he comes home this time, he will stay for three weeks instead of two. So it washes paywise. I had planned a one night stay at a local indian casino for one of the weekends he was going to be home (he enjoys playing slots, I like to people watch- but dont enjoy the smoke). So I cancelled it, since he wont be here now. He suggested moving it to one of the weeks that he is home, but I think I will resist any plans for now. I want to spend some weekends home, just enjoying not going anywhere (or spending money for the place we stay). Maybe take a couple of day trips hiking locally with a picnic lunch.

That means there isnt anything overnite and away on the calendar until next November. I am sure between now and then, something will come up...but for now, there arent any plans.

However, on the work front, I will be at the coast for about 6 nights in May over a two week period. That should be fun- and its free to me. I will be doing some staff training and staying at the company condo each night.

I am REALLY looking forward to the other end of the decluttering/organizing project when its all done. I anticipate being DONE with everything by the end of May.

Now that I am comfortable driving the hubs truck, I may finish up sooner, since I can take everything to the dump or Goodwill myself. (That will make the hub happy!)
