PTO

About four o'clock this morning, I woke up feeling like someone took a hammer to my face. I have had the mix of allergies and a cold for the past week and a half now, and today I had to take my second day off of work in two weeks. I'm not the type to miss work, I just feel guilty when I do, but it also brought up another issue other then being absent: PTO.

Ever since we got married, I've been carefully eyeing my paid time off to make sure that I have enough for a few days before the wedding, the honeymoon and one day to recover after we return. The extra days I had would be utilized for wedding meetings, portrait sessions, etc. That was until the past couple of weeks when I had to miss work because the unpredictable and oh so ever-changing Texas weather (snowing one day, 80 degrees the next, no lie) decided to work a number on my sinuses.

I should still be ok in the long run, timewise, but I never realized just how much weddings can impact EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE!

How are you all planning on using your PTO, or vacation time ... or, more importantly, making sure you still have some before the wedding comes?!?

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get some meds from the doc and spend the remainder of the day laying in bed, and, let's face it, work on whatever wedding items I can from my laptop!
