Oct 21 comfort stations

Last night I fell asleep about 6:30 when I got back to the room and woke up at 9:00 in time for the zoom with my friends . Then went back to sleep.  I woke up about 5: 30 and went to the gym for an hour. The same as yesterday. Half an hour on the bike in half an hour on the elliptical.
  Today I am hoping to make my flight arrangements to go home.
     I tried to book my flights this morning from Asheville to San Diego. American doesn't come here so it has to be Delta. When the lady was helping me she said I'm not authorized to fly out of Asheville. They want me to fly out of Charlotte. But she would attempt to put in the Asheville departure and call me back if that doesn't work. I also got a call from DHS and they want to have Mary Rose contact me today to set up an eval tomorrow. When I called transportation about the car they say it needs to go back to Charlotte or I need to give them the name of who I'm turning it over to. I don't know who I'm turning it over to. 
    When I got to my work site, I discovered that the governor and possibly President Trump are coming to my site sometime between 10:00 and 2:00. Well I'm only here until 12. But who knows what I'll get to see.
These are some of the folks working here but there's all kinds of camera crews and other people running around here right now. I got to do an official nursing thing. Some guy cut his finger on the shower in the mobile shower. I got to clean it and put an official Band-Aid on it. It's the only nursing thing I've done in the last few days.
  I got to shake hands with the governor of North Carolina.
    I got my flight set up out of Asheville. Yahoo!
Lunch had been sitting here since before I arrived. They with open the boxes at 1130-12
    I had my salad and apple and they actually had chickpeas in the lunch so I had those too. Now I am off to my other site at the Baptist Church.
     I called Fran to see about my eval. She will call me later today. I work tomorrow then go into the Ashville HQ Wednesday about 7 and start out processing.
     At my other site at the Baptist Church, apparently the community has discovered that they are here and it was much busier today. One person dropped off 21 loads of laundry for another 19 loads of laundry, we distributed quite a bit of supplies. This is kind of rewarding and low stress.

I finished packing and left for rc HQ. I went the wrong way on the freeway and it was 3 miles before I could turn around. I was trying to get there at 7a. Well it was 7:15 but no trouble. I returned my first aid kit. Turned in my, cpc card. Made copies of all my expenses and expenses report, turned in receipts. Turned in car keys and reported the scratches on the car.  Met my ride and we set off to the airport. The gps took city streets instead of the freeway. It took about half an hour. In the river district we passed more evidence of Helene's destruction. Checking in and security was very quick. I usually fill my water bottle from city water after security but if course the water is not potable.  I had to buy some. And they're happened to be a cinnabon stall. I bought a mini one. It was plenty.       Yea! I got bin space on my first flight. In Atlanta I took a train to terminal B. I spent an hour and a half in a ...

It's a frosty morning. Mary and I went to do laundry and met a road crew from Tennessee. Then we went to get coffee for our co-workers. I got a call from Fran at headquarters and I'm being reassigned as well as Rhonda and have to be in Asheville tomorrow by 9: 30am. I have to bring all the DHS supplies with me back to headquarters. It's a lot of stuff. So I'm dropping Mary back off at the house to sleep then I get to go exploring. I stopped at the Christmas shop  We have been seeing it every night. All lit up on the way home from the shelter. I had to stop by. Next I went to waterfalls Park. Apparently that's the same park I saw the other waterfall in. But I got a much better view. It's 11:30 now so I'm going to go get myself and Cindy a salad for lunch from the hospital salad bar.        From there I hung around at the shelter and had my lunch. Hoping I could sit...
