Sounds like a nice break! It's hard to get back to it after that long!

Me too! Local.
I like the Christmas Holidays for vacation because with all the scheduled days off I can add in my vacation days and get 16 (this year) consecutive days off for the use of 6 vacation days! That leaves me some for the spring as well.

Was woken up last night after 12:30 am to shoving, screaming and general panic!!!
The warmer weather must have woken up a bat and it was flying around the bedroom. My wife (from completely under the covers) shouting "Get it! Get it! "I will! I will!
The little guy conveniently landed on top of the window trim so I got him in a towel and let him go outside.
When I got back into bed my wife Nancy asked me if I thought he would be OK! I replied he was probably more scared from you screaming and will gladly take his chances outside!
Back to sleep!

That's kind of how I ended up with all this time. I'll be doing it at Christmas too. Even though I only work three days a week I still get vacation days to add to our usual holiday closings. I had it all planned out and then my boss decided that since we're normally closed on Wednesdays we needed to be closed on the days after Christmas and New Year's too. I love my job....and my boss!

I would have reacted much the same way as Nancy did!

What a night we had last night. My aunt and uncle recently moved from their home of over 40 years to be closer to their daughter. He's 86 and decided yesterday while my aunt was out with my cousin to take off in their van, just around dark. No one knew where he was until the state police found him broken down along a busy Interstate at 2:00 am. He was trying to go back to what he considered home, which was a good three hour drive. He hasn't been in doing well for the last year and this is definitely going to call for even more changes in his life I'm afraid.  :'(

That must have been really scary, Kelley! I'm glad your uncle was found, safe.

Thanks, Kathy. Yes, he gave us all a good scare.

Yes.  Right now, it would be best to hide the keys to the van.

They're really quite nice! I like them a lot. Between the bats, Chimney Swifts and a usual steady breeze off the mountain I'm only occasionally bothered with a mosquito! I maintain as a life hobby (for lack of a better term) this property as a wildlife refuge and provide food, water and shelter for the critters that live here. Even the bats get taken care of. Occasionally they have to adjust they're location and I also check them for white nose disease when I catch one . It's quite funny really to see the wife going through her total panic when one makes it's way out of the attic!

Me, too! I am terrified of bats. I can only imagine how hysterical I would be if one ever got into the apartment.

Your mechanic could put in a kill switch for fuel or ignition so it would just be one added thing to start the vehicle when you want to go somewhere. P.S. don't tell him about it!

I meant to add, Kelley, that thank God this freezing cold weather had not made it to the East yet.

That's nice that you take care of them, Dcazz.  :)

I'm hoping that my aunt will decide that she no longer needs it. There's plenty of social opportunities at the place where they live and my cousin and her two kids can take them shopping and to appointments.

I meant to add, Kelley, that thank God this freezing cold weather had not made it to the East yet.

That was the one comforting thought I had that evening!
