For my birthday present from the universe, I would like clear skies to see the Northern Lights please! I'm in the zone for naked-eye viewing, but the forecast for tonight is cloudy :(
Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

Clear skies~ma and many happy returns!
For some reason, Jess, my work calendar is telling me not only that it’s your birthday but how old you are (I don’t trust it to be right about that, of course, because I had a PDA (remember those?) that calculated all my contacts ages for me 20+ years ago but at some point when I imported all my contacts from that to something else the ages got frozen so I am used to any ages being reported to me by my phone to be wildly incorrect). No idea how that happened

And congrats on the Connections badge, that does sound satisfying!

MIL is in surgery. Off to the hospital. They were supposed to take her in at noon, but took her at 7:30.

Hope all goes well with her surgery.
Happy Birthday, Jess!

Hope getting it done early is good news!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes :)

Ooh, that sounds like a "live long and prosper" greeting. We should start using that!
Wordle in three today -- that's my favorite number to get it in. But I guessed which category was purple wrong and entered blue first in Connections. Ah, well.

I've been loving seeing the aurora pictures online and some were from south of me! But I didn't see anything and don't expect to, the clouds are thick and the forecast is cloudy to rainy
