We are taking a Thursday and Friday off and with Monday being a holiday we will have five total days off. (Yahoo) This little mini vacation is hard earned and this is what we have planned.

Thursday-Drive to Grand Forks to get Nancy's ID card updated at the Air Base-Go to the commissary to get some good deals on groceries, check out the PX, etc

Repair leaks under sink, fix the screen door, tighten all loose door knobs and hinges, check and clean the furnace and other appliances. Sweep out the cob webs and the floor in the basement, Paint the entry way floor, spot paint as needed. Clean all the light fixtures, replace battery in all seven smoke detecters. Have the furnace inspected etc
Saturday-More of Friday (shampoo carpets-wash and wax floors, cut and trim the grass, add new landscape blocks and haul in some fill dirt, plant new flowers)

Monday-Turn over Rental to new collage kids (if we are done)

That sounds like you'll be exhausted by the end of your vacation!

Wow, I'm exhausted just reading about all that cleaning, but I get to do the same thing next week, well, not quite as intense. I have to go back to Rochester to clean my old apartment and return my keys to our landlord so they next people can move in!

Update about Grand Forks-We got to the airbase around 10:30. We go to the ID card place, get signed in and all is well. Except for one small problem...there is two records in the system with Nancy's name and SSN-different birth and marrage date-so they have to delete one of the records. But the people in GF have to call to TEXAS to get the record deleted. As it turs out that shop is closed for some dumb reason (long holiday)and now we gotta go back after next Teusday-Thats ok because I don't mind paying $3.33 a gallon for a 5 hour trip that did absolutly NOTHING!!!!
