I was reminded last night by a Lego brand Instagram story, I set an alarm to tune in.

Yeah that was my bad. I was looking at the wrong countdown. Also anxious almost like a kid again. Haha.

Right? Gosh, nothing like the suspense of a Mars landing. During the descent my 4-y-o daughter lost interest and wanted me to pay attention to her trying to sell me some shapes, "I don't wanna look when you tell me to!"  For the record: after the landing was confirmed, I bought a rectangle and a star that I wore as a hat.
