I went to bed last night flipping between C-SPAN and CNN so I could watch a little more of the certification process, and the continuing objection speechifyin' finally had me nodding off. But in the knowledge that things were going to turn out all right, I at least fell asleep with a lighter load on my worry-fatigued brain than I'd carried for the first time in weeks or even months.

Facebook has banned Trump for at least the rest of his term. Hope it’s for life.

I turned the TV on at 1 pm yesterday, thinking I'd watch just a little of the congressional proceedings. Once the shinola had hit the fan, it was on until I fell asleep. I don't think I've sat for a marathon session like that since...quite possibly 9/11.

Good Morning.  Went to bed too late and didn't want to get out of bed to go to work.  The cloud of "I can work from home this week" is tempting, but I decided to go in as there are things to do here as well as "keeping up appearences" which I'm happy to do.  Don't get me started on that.... 

Today, a few classes, a COVID test and a guitar lesson and then probably a trip to Trader Joes as I haven't been in a while.  Tonight, I think the Christmas decorations will come down.  I'm pretty sure the lights are staying on the balcony. I'm able to make them all white which is good for year-round usage.

Oddly, my last two outstanding packages were delivered by USPS at 7:30 this morning, which is very unusual because I rarely have a delivery of any kind before 10 or 11 in the morning.

One of these had sat in Bridgeport, CT (where it had originally been mailed) since December 11th. That's a 45-minute drive from here, and it took just four days short of a month before it suddenly moved.

Now I feel spoiled. If it isn't here by tomorrow - say mid-morning? - I might have to open a PayPal ticket.

The Trump Reign of Terror is officially over, but I will only be happy when I know he's dead.

Actually...he still has 13 days. :-\

The woman who died yesterday, one of four killed, was a QAnon looney. Like most of the other events of yesterday, I’m more disappointed than surprised.

Yet I know people who still insist it was Antifa, not Trump fanatics. 

I am surprised they managed to get inside the Capital.  It is my fault as I missed the part where the request for the National Guard was denied.

Yes, knowing that was a big comfort.  Still, I did not fall asleep until 4:00.  I slept for two hours, then for another hour.

It would have been easier for you to drive there and pick it up ;)

The collective term for those who stormed the Capitol yesterday is Republican.
