    Not working, but sprained my ankle a week ago and could not make the flight (or 6hour drive) to go spend Easter with my family as usual. The ankle also prevents me from doing much (going for a hike, etc), and although getting some downtime is good, after 3 days, I'm sick of being stuck at home.

    I feel your pain! I'm in a Detroit hotel, on temporary loan to our understaffed crew base here (I'm an Atlanta-based pilot). Supposedly I'll be home tonight at 7:30 after 6 days on the road.

    I don't mind working because the clients are helping cook a dinner (just put the ham in for a 1pm dinner!) and I get to eat with them, which is always fun and eventful!

    Also I miss family brunch, which usually turns into a confusing fiasco and no one actually ends up eating together. I will be having my parents and M-I-L over for dinner later so I won't go without seeing family :-)

    Also! I get out of cooking dinner tonight. My husband gets out of work earlier than me so he will be doing most of it and dang is he a good cook!
