Any day off — even one — is a challenge for me. Example, I am taking tomorrow off because my husband has a medical procedure in another city and Friday off to take my grandchildren on a weekend trip before they move far away. To take those 2 days off I’ve worked five 10- hour days and two 12-hour days and I will work long hours next week to get caught up. You can imagine the price I pay for a 10-day trip to New Jersey and New York!
