On Leave

Thanks to that ultra-socialist piece of legislation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (thanks Bill, Chris), I am able to spend the next few weeks at home with little Brynna while H makes her way back into her medical rotations. The FMLA allows an eligible full-time employee to take up to 12 weeks of leave in a 12-month period for their own medical reasons, to care for a sick relative, or care for a new child. I guess it wasn't quite as socialist as it could have been, because it is unpaid leave, but it's nice to at least have the opportunity to spend lots of quality time with Brynna without worrying about whether I'd have a job later.

I'll be spending that time bonding with our little Brynna-bean. With any luck, I'll also be able to spend some time relaxing: reading, mostly.
