MIL is in surgery. Off to the hospital. They were supposed to take her in at noon, but took her at 7:30.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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 :)

I wish you clear skies and bright auroras!
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

I only started trying for purple first when I realized it was a thing, and now it's an added layer of fun... it doesn't take much to amuse me, it seems.
We do the puzzle together at night, so I haven't gotten there yet. Speaking of, I need to get back to printing old ones and doing them on paper to practice for the tournament in March!
Who's thinking about going to that, BTW? Unofficial poll!
