North Carolina Hiking Trip - Day 3

I got up early (0530) to start a long telework day in Franklin.  Ate breakfast (oatmeal) in the room.  It was very rainy outside all morning.  Erin called to talk to me about her new job (what a happy surprise).  I worked all morning and ate lunch (snacks) in the room.  In the afternoon, I had several meetings, worked on documents and made several calls (I also had some fun texting with Brenna and Mollie.  After my work day was over (1835), I drove over to get dinner at Bojangles (with gift card).  It had stopped raining, so I went walking in the mini-mall nearby.  I then drove down US-23 and parked near the Walmart (I did some more walking in their lot and inside).  Went back to my room in Franklin and talked to the Thru hikers (from Michigan and the UK).  Before calling it a day, I spent a little time walking around in the neighborhood near my hotel (to get to 10000 steps).  Back at my hotel, I watched TV in the room (Super Tuesday Primaries) until 2330, when I went to bed,  No hiking today but caught up on my hours during the inclement weather - that should pay off later in the week!
