After a mostly restful sleep, I was awake by 0630 and started teleworking from Brenna's apartment. She came out of her room by about 0715 and soon departed for work. Meanwhile, I teleworked, taking a short break for breakfast (snacks). I had lots of meetings and paperwork to do so the morning passed quickly. At 1200, I departed Brenna's apartment and drove to her school. On the way, I stopped for lunch (to go) at McDonalds in Harrisonburg (1215) and talked to Mollie (updating her on my plans with Brenna). I arrived at Brenna's school by 1230 and then signed into a volunteer session with her Kindergarten class for the afternoon. During the few hours I was there, I believed I helped a lot. The kids were, as usual, very interested in me (as their teacher's dad). Meanwhile, I only kept my computer on for intermittent telework opportunities between 1245 and 1545. After school was completely over, I started teleworking in earnest again while Brenna attended a series of work meetings. Anticipating our departure from Harrisonburg, I left the school at 1700 and drove to pick up some dinner from Panera in Harrisonburg. After getting the food (rapid pickup), I drove to Brenna's apartment (arrived at 1730). While waiting for her, I ate my own dinner - Brenna didn't arrive until 1900. Unfortunately, she then had to pack and that took a little while. Eventually (1930), we got on the road and drove from Harrisonburg (via I-81) to Raphine. Brenna told me she wanted to have a call with her mentor (starting at 2000) but we didn't get to a place with good cell signal until about five minutes after the call was supposed to begin. As a result, she canceled the call. Meanwhile, I got air for my rental car tire (the low tire pressure indication has been visible almost since I left New Hampshire) at a gas station near the Interstate. Also got a gas fillup from the same location (2010). Next, we drove a short distance to the Cyrus McCormick Farm and spent about 20 minutes walking there on a nature trail I knew was there. We saw lots of cows and birds - I think Brenna started to feel better after this. Back in the car, we drove to I-81 and headed south. During our drive, we had a good conversation. Just before arriving in Roanoke, we got off the Interstate (Troutville exit) and then used US-11 to reach the Quality Inn (located at the roundabout near Daleville). Due to the desk clerk being on rounds, we had to wait a bit to check into our room (2130) - after that, we got settled quickly. I did some more teleworking and then went walking near the hotel. I made it past 10K steps and finished at about 2330. Brenna had been relaxing while I was gone and actually fell asleep. Before going to bed, I did some reading and got ready for the next day. Finally drifted off to sleep at 0015 after a full day.
