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.
I had an all yellow 2nd guess
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.
Wordle in 4 today, haven't tried Connections yet.
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.
My nails are vermilion with a green to gold shimmer topper. The topper makes the polish beneath look more to orange side of things than the red side of things. I expect that this Bee's Knees lacquer is going to look awfully similar when it arrives next week. [link]
Was your all-yellow guess the word "___" by any chance?
I had that one as an all yellow before I got the actual answer.
Connections was a beast today.
The Bee dictionary has some noticeable gaps, but they have updated it to include some things that got a lot of pushback.

Wait, what does that mean?
I managed Wordle in 4 today, but found the letter box challenging. Had to restart.
I blew any streaks on the drive north because I was just too tired to get on a computer after driving all day.
eta: Do you do the Hurdle? It is a WaPo dealio, but I do it on the AARP site.

I often have to restart, because sometimes I just can't make words at first. I do all the word games while I have my first cup of coffee, and sometimes I need extra caffeine to get them done.

I don't, but we are AARP members, so I'll check the site.
Awww yeah, power is back! It was a rough 2 hours, but we made it. #neverforget

My win streak was 138 before I blew it.
