Taking a day off work o quilt...HAVE YOU?
#35
I had to leave work for a doctor's appointment when a friend called and was in town same day as a sewing expo. Change of plan - take the day off, cancel the doctor appt, go to the sewing expo. I got better real fast.

I think about it every day but don't. Not saying I havn't . Due to this type of practice too often by staff the hospital I work for changed the policy. Now the first two days that one calls in sick gets paid out of your vacation time which is very difficult to accumulate and keep due to being put on call for low census.So even though I think about it I can't do it because I feel guilty causing the other nurses to take twice the workload and the fact that I want to hold onto every minute of vacation time I can get so I get a paycheck on the days I get put on call for low census :(
Enjoy it while you can lol,I sure could use a mental health MONTH lol

Many years ago my husband & I both called in a sick day and spent the day running around together. Stopped in a place to eat lunch that was highly recommended, and guess what! We both ended up with food poisoning. So...ended up with several unexpected call in days. Both of us still laugh about our sick days and try to schedule personal or vacation days so there is no more guilt or as the kids call it "just desserts"

Yes yes yes I have. And it is just so gloriously wonderful! Thank goodness my machine isn't in my home. It's in my office in town- so I go there and no one bothers me and I just sew sew sew. I love it- I'm wrapped up in my own little world with not a care. I work a lot of hours so I don't get this very often. It tends to run in spurts (such as, I did it yesterday and I think I'm gonna do it today also!) Normally it's an hour here, thirty minutes there. I'll never, ever understand how anyone could possibly be bored in retirement. I can't wait. There are so many great things to do (such as sew!)
