Hey, any ING day is a good day.
It took me way too long to recognize the ING this morning.

Our wings are not tired.
Spelling was okay for me, but the Connections was stupid and incomprehensible. I'm still unclear on whether it's my brain or the puzzles that make some days easy and others impossible.

I stopped doing Connections a while ago. It did not spark joy. I love Letter Boxed, though, and nobody ever talks about it.

Ha! I got the Wordle on 6 because apparently you can spell more than one word with those letters, and I only guessed the correct word on try #6.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was on top of Connections today although I only got purple because it was the last four left. Wordle was tough, I had an all yellow 2nd guess and took quite a while working out how to rearrange that into the actual answer

The power went out here -- as I came home from therapy at 2-ish I saw the power company's truck at the top of the street, where there is a VERY damaged electric pole. And I thought "Yikes, I'm glad they're fixing that!" But I didn't realize it would mean our power would have to go out. The washing machine was right in the middle of a load of towels, dang it.
If you look at the outage map (I posted a picture on FB), out house is literally right on the border of the area with the outage. We were so close to not losing power! [crying emoji] At least it's MUCH less humid here today, so it shouldn't get too bad in the house. And my laptop has 100% battery, so I have no excuse not to work.

Was your all-yellow guess the word "runic," by any chance? I guessed that before I guessed the real word. In retrospect it's a weird choice, but it's what popped into my undercaffeinated brain.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Wordle I get very worked up about. I got to 138 once. After that I switched to picking a start word from the Mini and have never even broken a hundred again.
Connections I play, but I'm not all that emotionally invested.
