It should go without saying that the Mobile Express schedule is almost always booked solid. Our Google Calendar is a veritable sea of crimson blocks telling us where we need to be. Sometimes we go as far as to book two events in one day.
Or, sometimes, three.
You see, we have our Google Calendar set up so that we need to scroll down to get past 5pm. And sometimes I forget to scroll down to make sure that I'm not booking three events in one day.
Which brings us to last Thursday. The early hours were spent at Marion Franklin High School with the Wellness on Wheels Mobile Unit. We're always appreciative of the work they do (and for letting us use the lavatory on their giant truck). They've been steering moms-to-be to us for weeks now and we are truly grateful for their support.
After a quick stop at Chipotle, Erin and I then made the trip to Goodwill Columbus. We parked in front of their building for three hours and helped Goodwill employees and clients find out what programs they were eligible for.
From there, we made our second trip to The King Arts Complex for their Heritage Concert series. After spending the past nine hours doing quick checks and enrollments, simply helping with outreach was a nice change of pace.
Even with the more relaxing atmosphere, by the end of the night, Erin and I were pooped. We had spend thirteen hours in the Mobile Express and it was time for some much needed rest. After all, we had to be on the road to Cincinnati at 8am the next morning.
