Two weeks ago, Bill had a post call day that landed on a Friday. Post call means that he was on a 28+ hour "call" the day and night prior. He takes about 7 calls a month. If he has a bad call and doesn't get much, if any, sleep, the post call day is meant for sleeping. If he has a good call and was able to sleep overnight, then it's basically a free day off. On the chance he had a good call, I took a vacation day. He got a little less than 4 hours of sleep that night but we stuck to our plans anyway. We had a fun outdoor lunch at L'Albatros where we shared a three course meal and had some bubbly to really make it feel like a mini-vacation.
After lunch, we took a stroll through the art museum before heading home and taking naps! Hey, when the girls are at school, we go wild let me tell ya. That night our next door neighbors invited us over for delicious steaks on the grill where we shared two more bottles of wine (one sparkling - bubbles make everything better) and a bottle of zinfandel port. It was such a beautiful and relaxing day and truly felt like we were on vacation. I think we need to take days like that more often!
