Georgia Hiking Trip - Day 12

Today was supposed to be mostly a work day (to make up some hours from the last two weeks).  I got up at 0545 and started teleworking.  At around 0730, I drove to the main building to get breakfast and then went to visit my Dentist to get my teeth cleaned (0800).  Erin had already dropped Mollie off there before I arrived, and I ended up spending a bunch of time working out her insurance details.  Plus, the dentist found that Mollie needed fillings.  I approved those but it took until almost 1000 for Mollie to be done.  She felt really bad so I took her home immediately.  She'd been planning to get her driver permit exam done later in the day (Erin was going to drive her) but I later learned that she didn't end up going (she was too sick).  Meanwhile, I was back in my hotel room teleworking.  At about 1600, I texted Erin and Mollie to see if they wanted to meet for the Food Truck event they'd mentioned earlier in the week.  However, they both said they didn't want to leave the house.  So I continued teleworking later than I'd planned - I didn't recoup as much time as I'd hoped but every little bit helped.  I verified my dinner availability with my friends, Kim & David and took a walk on the base just before it got dark.  On my way to Kim's, I got some gas at the Express (1815) and drove to Falls Church.  Kim wasn't home yet so David and I went into McLean to get food at Santini's.  Back at Kim & David's house, we met up with Kim and had nice dinner and conversation until 2100.  I then drove back to Fort Belvoir and read a bit before going to bed (2300).
