BYOL

Ended up having to go to a NSP meeting (run by the city of Atlanta) at the last minute on Friday. It was a BYOL (bring your own lunch) meeting. My lunch for the day - Ritz Crackers and Kroger Creamy Peanut Butter. I had just enough time to make it to the meeting, so my originally planned lunch went with me. I know the folks leading the meeting fairly well or else I probably wouldn't have done it. In fact, the guy who was up front shares my exact birthday... and is one I have to communicate with fairly frequently. He jokingly calls me boss. He's a sweet (non-practicing) Jewish man who dotes on his 2 year old daughter. You can see him in the background of the photo.

Callenwalde

Love this old building. Took dark room classes years ago in a little building back behind this old mansion. Went back a month ago to take photos of the Mission Year gala.

Sweet Auburn Curb Market

Lunch date at Sweet Auburn Curb Market with Carrie, Ashley, and Catherine. Love this place.

Apparently Atlanta is picky about their sidewalks.

Community Geography

I am such a community development dork. I've been working on a partnership with two geography professors. They had the one and only community geographer - a professor at Syracuse - flew down for a presentation. So cool! The covenant intern who is coming down in a dual internship with Charis/FCS and these GA professors was able to come down with one of my old professors. So much fun. Looking forward to learning how to create this new tool. Took them to Daddy Dz's for some good bbq after the talk.

Doctor

Doctor thinks I pulled a muscle or ligament or something. Gave me meds to heal and pain meds for comfort. I'm to keep using the therma care heat pads. If I'm not better in a week I'm to return to get an xray.

Found out that apparently my heart races at just sitting in a doctor's office and it's not just when a needle comes out...
