vacation scheduled

I finally requested my week vacation at work. Since I don't have plans to go anywhere, it didn't really matter what week I picked, so I chose the week before Labor Day -- that way I'll have an "extra" day at the end of my vacation.

Someone asked how I still have vacation time when I'm missing all these days for chemo. Well, I'm an hourly employee so I'm only being paid for the time I'm working. We get two weeks of paid vacation and five paid sick/personal days, and I didn't want to waste them on chemo -- first off because I've missed more than 15 days between diagnosis and treatment, and secondly because I figured after all this I'd *need* that vacation time. My 3-day hospital stay back in April was unexpected, so I did use sick days there.

So what are my plans for vacation? Nothing, I hope. Much like last year, I hope to get some things done around the house that I've been putting off, but on the whole I just want to sleep in and not have any responsibilities, like a Saturday in college.
