I had a pile of comp time that needed to be used. Jen had vacation time that she would lose if she didn’t use soon. Months ago we started searching for a fitting weekend to take off together before Christmas. We chose this weekend.
I am off today and tomorrow. Jen is off tomorrow. Sure, I was out of the house before sunrise, but who cares. I’m not going to work!
We might be sneaking off for a bit at some point. We might stay home for some of it. There are no set in stone plans, other than not working for a couple of days. We might do some Christmas shopping, and we might see a mountain, and we might sleep all day… But we will spend it all together, and it will be great.
