White River Junction, VT (USA)

[began teleworking very early and got a lot done before 0945 - at that, point, I drove to White River Junction (UVAC) and spent 45 minutes swimming (54 lengths) - I was finished by 1050 and then got ready for a Volunteer Luncheon at the nearby VA Medical Center - between 1130 and 1315, we were treated to a delicious assortment of healthy food and were given awards for our volunteer hours in 2024 - this was the first time I was honored (with a certificate) but there were people who had accumulated over 1000 hours (one person had been working with the VA for more than 15000 hours!) - it was all quite humbling... - I got to talk to Jen S about upcoming bike rides with the Veterans (I'm looking forward to that) and met a lot of other nice people - when the festivities concluded, I checked in for a medical (in-person) appointment - once that was finished (1430), I headed home (arrived at 1500) and continued teleworking until 1730]
