Twin high-maintenance machines

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.

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.
