Burst Pipe Adventure - Day 44
[up by 0530 (still in White River Junction) - started teleworking - breakfast at 0630 - feeling better but not completely recovered from my cold - more teleworking (Off-Site Meeting all day) - we got a break at around lunch time - since my colleagues in DC were going on a walk together, they suggested the online participants also participate in that activity - therefore, I went for a walk near the Holiday Inn (1210 to 1255) - this timeframe also ended up being the only break in the rainy day conditions all day - returned to meetings (more teleworking) at 1300 - ate lunch in my hotel room at 1445 - took a break from my work day at around 1530 and left the hotel for Hanover - picked up my mail at the condo and then joined my happy hour friends at Jesse's Steakhouse (1545 to 1745) - afterwards, drove through Hanover to West Lebanon (NH-10) and joined the Connecticut River Conservancy "River Steward Meet & Greet" at the Kilton Library (1800 to 1900) - they had light food, which I counted as "dinner" - I could have stayed longer to network but still wasn't feeling 100% (still tired) - drove back to the Holiday Inn Express (arrived at 1930) and logged back into my work computer to follow up on late-afternoon developments - after finishing work completely, spent the rest of the evening watching movies - went to bed at 2230]
