Weekends, vacation days & personal days RULE!!!!!!

So like it's November 21st...using my last vacation day just because (because I had to schedule it). Gave me a 3 day weekend right now...then I work Tuesday and Wednesday, then off Thursday through Sunday (YAY Thanksgiving weekend!). After, it's 4 full work weeks until Christmas week (which the company has graciously given us all off with pay...YAY!). Got 1 personal day left...saved up in case of a snowstorm or something.
Currently, I get 20 vacation days a year (and 2 personal days). 23 years with the company and that's one of the advantages. 2 more years and I'll get another 5 days...looking forward to that!
I honestly don't actually "go on vacation"...just hang around at home and just enjoy not having to go to work. Last actual "vacation" I had was back in 2005 when I traveled to Mardi Gras in New Orleans...just months before Hurricane Katrina devastated that whole area. I'm just not a traveling kinda guy. I like to just use my time off to relax. Working full time and taking care of my disabled Mom (whom I love very much) just makes me want to take a day off every now and then. Unfortunately, taking care of Mom doesn't allow much of a "day off". Admittedly, I sometimes don't tell her I've scheduled a vacation day so she doesn't have the opportunity to make up a list of things to do or make doctor appointments and such on my "day off". Today was a last minute vacation day...just relaxing for a change. I just need the day off...as we all do sometimes.
