I only got it on the last guess, and I had no confidence. Phew, indeed.
Braces off on August 11th, woo! It was supposed to be the 4th, but the retainer won't be ready in time. Two weeks, yay!
Heat index may go up to 109° today. Argh.
I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I bombed on the Wordle. Too many options.
Same.
not a proper word
Eh. It's a valid Scrabble word. Wordnik has it, but all the examples cited there put it in quotes.

I got it in 6 in part because y’all said it wasn’t a word and I was like “well, of the options I have left..”

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sometimes complaining can help someone else! A lesson I will no doubt take too much to heart

In blast from the past Buffista birthday notices, Send a good thought to vw bug today. I've made a unilateral decision to include those I haven't seen in a while, because they should still feel the ~ma.

Same. That was a shitty word, Wordle. Do better.

My poor brother arrived here yesterday from Colorado, land of heat but almost no humidity, and walked out of the airport into swampy river valley humidity and 90+ degrees. Wearing jeans. Living in a more arid climate has made him weak. (Although, seriously, he grew up here. He knows what late July in Cincinnati is like.)

Man, you gave me a vivid sense memory of getting off a plane and getting hit by a wall of humidity. Keep it frosty, bro of Tep
Sometimes I have these thoughts, like, "will Kohl's status as a meme stock help move more of the items they are buying from us to feature on Black Friday?" and I have no one to share them with so y'all get 'em. Sorry. I just can't leave that rattling around in my head with no escape.
