Days 0 and 1

The weekend doesn't count because I'm usually "unemployed" on weekends, so this isn't different.  And this was pretty typical for a spring/summer weekend.  Went to the Mariners game on Saturday and played started softball season on Sunday.  Mariners lost and I've yet to see them win in person this year.  Softball team went 1-1 which is good since we started last year 0-7.  We also met with our hardwood installer again and finalized our floor plan.  We're going to install real cherry wood floors rather than prefinished wood.  It's a lot messier and will take a few days longer because it will have to be sanded and finished, but it will look a lot better and be less expensive.  Also we can get the wood this week instead of a 3-4 week backup for delivery.

Monday was day 0.  When we got laid off, it was supposed to be our last day of work, but as noted I was already done so my real plans were for Tuesday.  Slept in, went to the gym, hit Costco for some essentials, finished Mother's Day shopping and mailed all our Mother's Day gifts.Got movers in place for Wednesday.

Tuesday I had some plans in place.  I took the dogs to the vet in the morning.  Cocoa was due for his annual checkup and some vaccines and Hunny Bear needed to have stitches removed from his surgery last week and was due for a vaccine as well.  Hunny Bear is great though Cocoa has a yeast infection in his ears.  We need to do some serious ear cleaning on him. Then I met a friend for lunch, met with my financial adviser to discuss converting my traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs which has special rules in 2010.  It turns out to be a good idea if you're far from retiring and don't want to be forced to take withdrawals at 70 1/2 -- say you don't expect to ever need the money.  Didn't make it to the gym.

Monica and I had a 4:30 meeting regarding the Humane Society's vision plan, so it was a bit of a short day.

Plan for day 2 is to be here while they do the prep work for converting carpets to hardwoods.
