I am so jealous of all of you who have sick leave to accrue! None of you are parents or caregivers I guess? I never have any time left over for even my own illnesses; need to use sick days for those I care for.

Is there a chance you could schedule dental, eye, and other annual exam type appts. during this period?

This is what I would do. Schedule all my
Medical appointments! My boss at my last job did this.

I would probably take sick time do all necessary medical/dental appointments and maybe other self maintenance stuff, and take a couple of days off to relax. I would be careful not to miss important meetings or screw over colleagues. To use up all my accrued sick time, I would have to take three solid months off and I would not do that😄
