Happy Independence Day (observed)! I was really happy to have finished yesterday’s Spelling Bee. We were up in Santa Barbara, and we walked legitimately for 20 miles, though my phone only recorded 19.57. But with all the dust and stuff from yesterday, I have been sneezing like crazy today. I’m going to take a Benadryl and pass out so I’m all good for work in the morning.
Yesterday I missed BLIN, BLINI, BLINK, INFO, KINK, LILT, OINK, and TOOLKIT.
