1 of 10

Today is day 1 of 10 off work for me. With the new healthcare law, lower reimbursement, etc.. some of us that have quite a bit of PTO (paid time off) saved up are being forced to take some of that time. It's really pretty simple, our PTO comes out of a different account so, we still get paid but it looks like our department is saving some money. I personally don't mind, as long as I still have enough hours in the bank to get me to short term disability (if something bad were to happen to me). Anyway, I'm getting a little unscheduled vacation. I spent this morning getting some shopping done and this afternoon I'll be getting a much needed haircut and color. I'm planning on making a trip to Springfield one day with my Mom and I hope to get the grandkids at some point. I need to sit down and make a big "to do" list and stick to it.
