{{dcp}}} I hope it continues mild and I'm glad you are stocked up
That sounds great, Calli!
I just requested a payout of two weeks of vacation time, which will essentially give me an extra paycheck. It'll be nice to have the money, but I do regret not taking the time off at some point. I have plans for a couple days off in October for the annular eclipse, and actually put time off on the calendar for February (my birthday is the Sunday before Mardi Gras and I am toying with the idea of going to NOLA for it, although I am also thinking I might enjoy visiting at another less raucous and probably less expensive time more? Either way, I have the time off on the books) and even with planning another week off for the Great American Eclipse or whatever it's called I will have enough vacation time accrued to do my month long train trip late spring. So that's all good.
