I am watching the inauguration and having my heart be warmed by all the people who are waiting outside with dedication and determination.
This is such a happy thing. Even my little sister is staying in at lunch since her teacher offered their class a classroom to watch the inauguration in ("What would you tell your children? that you were eating lunch?")
I also had a ridiculous weekend that I will hopefully expand upon later.
Also, I know it might be slightly horrible to find this funny/amusing, but apparently Dick Cheney pulled a muscle moving his stuff out of the White House so he is in a wheelchair today. I'm not glad he's hurt or anything, but the fact that he's been somewhat humbled and is now sitting - the symbolism and the significance of it on a day like today is definitely not escaping me, and it's making me smile a little.
Happy Inauguration Day!
