Done… Painting

And the entire house is now a pale yellow. Very reflective. It’s so bright, I gotta wear shades.
Now I move on to my next vacation endeavor - installing our new computer. Since it took nearly 4 hours just to backup all our photos/documents/iTunes, I can only imagine that this will take the rest of the weekend. Good thing there is a huge storm coming (some of you are seeing it all ready). Certainly won’t be able to do much else.
*sigh* vacation…
Then maybe with the “honey-do”’s done, I will be able to relax. Write more. Maybe even fill in my bio. That would be special…

I took a vacaton day today. But - like most of America - taking a vacation day doesn’t mean I was vacationing. Since everyone seems to work five days a week (and be sure to add the hours of commuting), it becomes difficult to accomplish all those other needs in our lives during the only two days off a week we have. For instance, I am only able to pick up my drycleaning on Saturdays before 3PM. That is the only time our hours intersect. So vacation days are used for waiting for the plumber, meeting with contractors, going to parent-teacher conferences, renewing a license, getting your car repaired, taking care of a parent or relative, etc, etc, etc. You know - life. During the time I was an elected official, I took days off for meetings with the DOT, local landowners, and other semi-sorta-offical agencies. But now - life. I guess I didn’t have to worry about this so much when my wife was home. However, we now both work full time and commute and have that wee window of time to accomplish all that needs to be done.
