I started teleworking before 0630 this morning and only took a short break (at around 0800) for breakfast at BOQ main building. I was able to pick up prescriptions pretty easily after that. Mollie and Brenna texted a few times about how their breakfast was going (they decided to eat at Nicky's). Brenna also told me she was heading back to Harrisonburg later in the day. Meanwhile, I was back at the "office" (teleworking again) by 0900. I had meetings for almost three hours and ended up skipping lunch. I made plans for networking tag-ups for rest of the week - surprisingly, so many people wanted to get together that I really needed to time all of the meetings just right. Worked until 1445, when I left my room and drove to Shirlington. I met Arnie for happy hour (1530) at Copperwood Tavern and had a great time (I tried a pint of "Satan's Point"). We chatted about old Navy days and "who we used to know." Erin started texting me, suddenly - asking where I was and practically begging me to stay away from DC. I didn't understand until the bartender turned on CNN - we were all stunned by images on of people storming the US Capitol building, just across the river. Other friends reached out to me too - I guess they all thought I might be near the action... Arnie and I finished up at about 1700 and then I drove back to the Base. I did a bit more teleworking and then took a walk around the area near by room (2000 to 2100). I later spent some time updating my Goodreads account and then read until bed time (2300).
