A low-key mishmash post
--Such a strange amount/distribution of sleep today. We got our impending-furniture-delivery call fairly early, so 
scruloose and I were both up by 8 or so, but as soon as the delivery was done, we both fell asleep on the sofa until early afternoon. *facepalm* And at some later point in the day, I lost another hour or two to dozing. Crap.
At least the fact that I decided to take the weekend off work means I don't feel guilty about the day vanishing that way, but I still wish it hadn't.
--I didn't go march today (for a few reasons, but the main one is that crowds here in Halifax usually give me some degree of anxiety--usually manageable, but sometimes awful, and I never know which it'll be). But I spent my waking hours largely glued to Twitter and retweeting a ton of photos of marchers and signs and news (poke my
ysabet_m timeline to see just a fraction of the awesomeness on display today). My Twitter feed was staggeringly busy all day, and I'd guess at least 95% of it was march-related...and it was wonderful. So much exuberance and ferocity and determination on display. I wouldn't go so far as to call it "happy", but it's uplifting. (And still going!)
(The Atlantic posted "Photos of the Women's Marches Around the World", and my favorite of the famous-people shots is by far Melissa Benoist's protest photo, posted to her Instagram. Yay, Supergirl!)
--Here at home, despite his cold getting worse, not better,
scruloose assembled the new coffee table. It's pretty shiny. *^^* And heavy, holy crap. I took a quick stab at helping him flip it onto its feet, but we wound up asking Kas for help instead. (Kas stopped in to help with that while he and Ginny were heading elsewhere, and then they picked up more cough medicine and lozenges and dropped those off while heading home later. Wonderful friends are wonderful.)
