Moving Trip (Part 2) - Day 2

I spent the whole morning teleworking.  During a break, I picked up breakfast at McDonalds (0745) at Hayfield.  At one point, Brenna asked if she could come over to take a nap at my place - I told her it was OK.  At 1130, I left my apartment, got gas (1145) and then drove to Springfield (Edsell Road) to drop off my rental car (1215).  While waiting for a ride, I watched the nearby Amazon Delivery Center in action (so many trucks, impressive).  Erin and Mollie picked me up about 15 minutes later.  As we were driving back to my apartment, I heard some worrisome noises coming from the bottom of the car (rear axle).  This concerned me so I recommended we go see our family's trusted mechanic (Mr. Tom) to get Erin's Jeep checked (she agreed).  We got some good recommendations from the mechanic and Erin said she'd fix them later.  During this time, I got concerned about the condition of Erin's tires, so we also ended up checking out a tire place nearby so she could plan on purchasing some replacements.  Once we were done with all of the research/checking, Erin drove me home again (1330).  Brenna was still there and I gave her some of the maple syrup candies that I'd bought in New Hampshire (Erin and Mollie said they didn't want any).  I did some more telework in the afternoon.  When I finished (1730), I visited with Brenna until she was ready to leave (1900).  Spent the rest of the evening cleaning in my old apartment and went to bed at around 2230.
