Twin high-maintenance machines

[sovay]

So I know that I spent a measurable portion of yesterday indoors and even sitting down, but my body seems to remember it as a permanent rotation between walking, standing, or running for public transit outside in the cold. As a result, I feel like trains fell on me, may have picked up a slight cold, and definitely have pulled something in my neck. derspatchel is in bed with a sore throat and not-quite-fever, meanwhile, and Autolycus has started throwing up again (we have a vet appointment set for tomorrow morning). In an attempt not to be totally useless politically, I called Governor Baker and thanked him for taking a stance against Trump's unconstitutional anti-Muslim order. I did not get to any of the other Republicans who have spoken out against the travel ban because the rest of my afternoon went toward working, paying bills, and spending way too much time on hold with Eversource, but I am hoping to get to some of them tomorrow. Positive feedback is important. Congress getting the idea it can push back would be great. (This is another excellent reason for some of those people not to confirm Jeff Sessions as U.S. Attorney General. Anyone who really believes the ban is immoral and illegal should not vote to place in power someone who will unequivocally uphold it.) At the moment I am roasting a chicken with the last of the wild fennel pesto from Zingerman's and preventing Autolycus from licking out the pesto jar. I may try to watch a movie later tonight. I may just stare at a wall.

I hope all goes well at Autolycus' appointment tomorrow, and that you and derspatchel both feel better.

Thank you! There has been more vomiting (on the cat's part, not ours!), so we are really hoping someone can figure out what's going on.

I am back from yet another protest, and am thawing. This one, at least, was hyper local, and had some good ways to connect to local community.

I hope you get the rest you need.

I called Governor Baker today for the same reason.

Cool! I hope a lot of people did.

Nice. What was it?

Thank you. I . . . did not, but at least I got the chicken roasted and made cinnamon toast for dessert afterward.

Local protest against the anti-Muslim ban. I ran into my sister around hour two, and bundled her off to my apartment, because she was starting to lose feeling in her toes.

We had the traditional dinner while watching The Muppet Show for general raising of flagging spirits. We also read from this seminal work, which helped break up the general doom and gloom.

I hope you still get the rest you need, and that all your cats remain healthy and non-vomitous.
