Well. The inauguration was more than pleasing to me, and the fact that it seemed to go off without any hitches visible to the average person seems even more impressive. Most pleasantly of all to me was the skipping of inaugural balls, and I know it was mainly due to the pandemic, but I find them discordant and somewhat offensive even in the best of times.
In any case, I enjoyed the day and evening and truly felt like a weight had been lifted. Not that I think Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are perfect people, but because I believe they are good people who truly do think of others. So I'm only hoping that things can improve and move forward as much as they did on Wednesday.
Plus, we had champagne and a cheeseball to celebrate, so it really felt special. 😊
The completely shallow part of me also enjoyed looking at what everyone wore, and how they looked, and their interactions with each other. And in that way, no one was a disappointment, at least in my opinion. People watching is one of my favorite things to do, and it's even more enjoyable on a cold day when you can do it from the comfort of cozy clothes on the couch.
I have also been enjoying all of the Bernie memes. A lot of people think they are terrible and mean, but I think they are not mean-spirited at all, just having fun. Let's face it, Bernie Sanders makes a point of how simply he lives and how frugal he is, etc., so the fact that he wore what was probably one of the warmest coats of anyone with hand-knitted mittens was a perfect example of the Bernie look.
My favorite one is this one - this is me, even on my very best day, and it made me laugh out loud!
I'm looking forward to a weekend without having to hear from, or think about a certain person or any member of his family. As I said when Joe Biden was officially sworn in, just like that, every American lost 260 pounds and started to feel healthier!
Have a good weekend - I hope you can be cozy and content.
