We the people...

... did not brave the inauguration this time (I thought about it, briefly, but it's quite cold outside and I'm still sick (over four weeks now, what's up with that?) and despite some knee improvements I sincerely doubt I could have walked from the Metro to the Mall). I did watch it on TV. Not quite as impressive as last time, although since the frisson of standing somewhere in back of the Washington Monument with a million other people is lacking, it's hard to judge. (Frisson in both senses; it was pretty damn cold then too. And yes, Alys Vorpatril is affecting my vocabulary. Not that I've managed to write more than a few paragraphs more of the scene.)

This week I've succeeded in getting stuff done in the mornings, and then by mid-afternoon I've pretty much crashed and settled down to Netflix (moving on from "Doctor Who" to "The West Wing," because hey, timely. And OMG, baby Elisabeth Moss. And all of them. *love*). I am really hoping I can shake this thing off soon, because that rate of accomplishment is not sustainable in the long term. But for the moment I'm on track for the bare necessities.

Okay, a cup of tea and the end of season one are calling me...

For what it is worth, I have several friends here in NH who have had these upper respiratory things that have lasted for at least a month, so you are not alone. I am extremely grateful not to have gotten something like that, YET!
