And congrats on the Connections badge, that does sound satisfying!
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Hope all goes well with her surgery.
Happy Birthday, Jess!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Off to the hospital. They were supposed to take her in at noon, but took her at 7:30.
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

Also blue first today! I don't really try for purple first, I'm just pleased when it happens. Today's crossword, btw, is pretty cute
