Wed 2 Mar

Didn't have as much tension in my shoulders last night for Mary at Suzuki. Not sure why as the day was crazy busy again at work, but I'll take it. Maybe the prospect of vacation is starting to settle in. We found out we will be at Secrets Capri which is unfortunately the lowest end of the three possibles, but it still looks to be beautiful. I'm sure we'll have a great week as long as the sun shines. There is a spa in Playa del Carmen, a short taxi ride or possibly a beach walk from the resort, where prices for massages,etc. are really reasonable - hour massage for $30! We will try to go there instead of the vastly overpriced resort spa if we fancy some pampering.

We will be at the resort over Ash Wednesday, and I flatly refuse to fast at an all-inclusive when I only have 5 days of vacation so I am substituting today for the fast/abstinence day. I figure the important thing is observing the fast, not the exact day.

Very stressful afternoon, partly because we started discussing the implications of the union busting on our situation. The county board will have the option to completely rewrite our benefits, including scrapping our vacation or significantly reducing it. If there are layoffs, my seniority will no longer be any protection for me.
