Saving Days

I have sick days, vacation days and personal days. Each year I try to use them wisely. I never want to be caught without days and have my paycheck docked. Two years ago, I used the last day on December 30th only to wake up on the 31st to a snowstorm. One day away from being safe. This year I used the days sparingly since I was not sure how many I would need when my granddaughter was born. Now, I have an overflow. I am off today and off on Thursday. Then I will not return to work until January. I will spend some of those days in Massachusetts, watching my baby grow. By the time I get back to work, I will have a small taste of retired life. I am already antsy.
