Four and one-half days no more

For the last half year, up until yesterday, I only had to work four and a half days per week.  It was very, very nice.  I had been working a lot more than five days per week anyway, but it was nice to get off early on Friday afternoons to go home and do things with the family.  So now that I am working full time for a living again, I am going to have to figure out some good ways to make up for what feels like lost time.  I think this might be a good excuse for a beach trip or a trip to Washington D.C. or something like that.  We have wanted to do that anyway.  Well, we are at crunch time here at work for the next couple of weeks, so I am going to have to plan for that much later in the month.
