I didn’t watch the inauguration
I did help set up streaming video in our atrium and two classrooms, and my boss sent out instructions for how people could watch in their offices. But I am exhausted and today I just tried to keep up and not be grumpy; my head is full of the noise of pain.
Life goes on in myriad ways even as history is made. last night I was in too much pain to sleep and drugs weren’t helping. I tossed and dozed fitfully until about 4 when my cat plastered himself against my chest and began to purr. I went to sleep until 6 when i was awakened by a pain dream.
Now the intertubes are full of insightful, beautifully-written posts by my favorite bloggers, but I can’t make sense out of them. I marked them for later attention in myu rss feed and am off to do some cardio and shower. Our new president is at the helm and I can hear the ship creak as it begins to change direction. It’s a good sound.
All I can say is that for me there were tears of joy, but perhaps even more of relief.
Hope you feel better very soon.
I finally exhaled.
I hope you are feeling better.
Justice, you said it for me.
George, darling, I don’t make it by for a few days and then I find you in agony! That’s not right. I hope that pain goes the way of George Bush – out of sight, nearly out of mind, and no longer bothering you!
Thank you! I am starting to feel better. This happens less frequently than it used to.
Exhale is the right word: I was thinking about the Secret Service, hoping they’d keep anything bad from happening.
