Massive job~ma, Calli!
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

All the ~mas, JenP. I'm sorry to hear about the diagnosis.
Also, general ~mas all around.
So it sounds like the US is about to attack Iran very soon.
This is like 8.9 out of 10 in my Do Not Want book, especially with my current government who cannot for the life of it take care of its citizens. For scale, 10 is for Zombie Apocalypse and Collapse of Modern Society and Infrastructure as We Know It.
Age discussion
This is my regular reminder to the board that I was born in 1985 and love hanging out with y'all. And every now and then I see 20 something years old people in the world and I'm not completely sure where they emerged from because I can also no longer remember how it was like when I was 20+.

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.
Happy Birthday Laura!

Our wings are not tired.
Thank you! I'm working on it being a relaxing day. In best news, my MIL is going to be staying with SIL for now until she goes to her own home. My turn is up. Love the woman, but she is exhausting.

That makes this an extra happy birthday!
