It's 8:05, and I have been up since 6:50 on a 9º morning. Right now, the sun has just risen above the clouds, welcoming some blue skies. A guy is dragging his sled in right now—I saw him pulling it out around 6:50.

Thursdays are always busy for us. We are both up by 7:00. I was in a hurry to have coffee and write the blog because I had to shovel the parking area, pull the Outback out for Evie, and drive to Bemus for breakfast at 8:00. I had my usual: an English muffin with egg, sausage, and cheese, and coffee. The three of us left at 9:00, and when I returned home, I finished the blog before Evie went over it and published it. I left for yoga at 9:35, followed by Evie at 9:40. Class was packed and, to my surprise, it was configured differently, with Jen, our teacher, at a different wall. Change is good? Class was the usual Yin Yoga, holding a pose for 3 or 4 minutes. She also cautioned us to avoid pushing too hard. If we begin to feel discomfort, stop and hold back a bit—good advice. Too many of us push too hard and think feeling pain is good. Not so in yoga. I was refreshed after class and stopped at Walmart to pick up our dinner, a rotisserie chicken, along with a few other things. It's always a trip to shop at Walmart.
I was home by 12:30 and had lunch, a half-price sub sandwich from Walmart. I watched another episode of The Lincoln Lawyer. Evie returned home from school around 2:00, happy with her day. I decided to take a nap since I only got 4.5 hours of sleep Wednesday night according to my Apple Watch. I read, then took an hour nap, waking groggy as usual if I nap that long. I had no interest in going for a walk, alas, and sat around the house feeling off until wine time at 5:00. We sat around talking about Evie's day at school and listening to the news. For some reason, neither of us was very hungry. The chicken didn't sound good to either of us, so Evie made me scrambled eggs and a bagel—just right. We are struggling to find something to watch and started a couple of series, none of which we liked, so we stuck with the Winter Olympics until Evie went to bed. I then watched a bit of the NBA before another episode of The Lincoln Lawyer and Unfamiliar, both on Netflix.

The Trump administration would test anybody’s sense of optimism. But America has bounced back from far worse. The good news is this: For centuries, we did not take advantage of most of our national talent, because of racism and sexism and all that. Today we have more talent in this country than ever before. The history of America is the history of convulsions and periods of rupture, followed by creativity and periods of repair. We’ve lived through the rupture; now, Times readers, let’s do the repair.
